But I’m going to give you honest reviews about their products (or services), their mobile apps and their website. I will start the basics;

What to Know about VFD Microfinance Bank

According to the company’s overview, VFD Microfinance Bank is a financial services institution based in Lagos State, Nigeria. They operate fully in the ‘Microfinance Banking Sector’ and have different finance experts who come together to help transform their customers’ goals to reality.

According to the company;

We’re in the business of helping all our customers achieve their desires, solve intermittent problems and create wealth, through high yield savings accounts and low interest rates on loans.

Although Vbank has its head office in Lagos, you can bank with them anywhere you are in Nigeria. You know this is made possible by virtue of advancement in financial technology – thanks to that.

In fact, I’m living in Osun State and I have an account with them which I hope to grow my savings with them.

But you may be thinking that you’ve heard about different digital banks and some seemed to be a fraud. And that may bring a particular question to your mind that;

Is VFD Microfinance Bank or VBank Scam or Legit?

Yes, Don Jazzy openly endorsed VFD Microfinance Bank via his verified social media handle (here @Donjazzy) and that’s how I personally learned about this digital Microfinance bank in Nigeria.

I believe Don Jazzy won’t put his global reputation on risk in order to vouch for a scam or fraudulent banking company.

Well, I didn’t register an account with VFD immediately I learned about them from Don Baba, but had to check on their website and reputable to see if they will woo my darling self. And you know what? They seduced me with their services and had to register for an account immediately.

I also learned (through research on Google) that VFD Microfinance bank is featured in Guardian Online Magazine, Techpoint Africa, Business Day, Nairametrics, and they’re in UNILAG – a reputable university in Lagos State.

Now, let talk about what you can do with VFD Microfinance Bank.

  • Apply and get a loan easily in Nigeria

But what If I tell you that with VBank in Nigeria, these challenges are eliminated because they created the platform for you in mind.
