A leading credit bureau, CRC Credit Bureau Limited, has launched an upgraded its mobile app to give customers seamless access to their credit information and essential financial services on a single platform.
The company said the enhanced application forms part of its broader effort to redefine digital credit management while expanding financial accessibility for individuals and businesses across Nigeria. According to the firm, the upgraded mobile app introduces several new features aimed at improving security, enhancing customer experience, and expanding digital service offerings.
One of the key additions is biometric login functionality, which allows users to securely access their accounts using fingerprint authentication and Face ID. The company said the feature enables faster access to accounts while maintaining strong data protection standards. The application also includes an integrated wallet system that allows users to top up their balances for transactions carried out within the app. The feature is expected to streamline payments and reduce friction during digital transactions.
In addition, the wallet system incorporates a show-and-hide balance option designed to provide users with greater privacy and control over their financial information, particularly when using the application in public or shared environments.
The upgraded platform also expands CRC’s digital service offerings by enabling users to purchase utility services directly through the app. These services include electricity payments, airtime and mobile data purchases, as well as subscriptions to television platforms such as DStv, GOtv, StarTimes, and Showmax.
The company said the integration positions the CRC mobile app as a multifunctional digital platform capable of supporting everyday financial transactions within a secure ecosystem.
As part of its financial literacy initiatives, the application also enables users to register directly for CRC training courses, simplifying access to educational programmes aimed at improving financial knowledge and decision-making.
Speaking at the launch, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CRC Credit Bureau, Tunde Popoola, said the development reflects the organisation’s broader digital transformation strategy.
“The new mobile app reflects the organisation’s broader digital transformation strategy and its commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower customers. The upgraded app is designed to place greater control in the hands of customers while maintaining the highest standards of security and operational excellence,” Popoola said.
He added that the company would continue to invest in technology to strengthen transparency and trust within Nigeria’s financial services ecosystem.
“CRC remains committed to investing in technology that enhances transparency, improves accessibility, and strengthens trust within Nigeria’s financial services ecosystem,” he said.
According to Popoola, the organisation’s long-standing mission is to strengthen confidence in Nigeria’s financial system by providing reliable credit information, innovative financial solutions, and accessible tools that enable individuals and businesses to make informed financial decisions.
“At CRC, our mission has always been clear: to strengthen trust in Nigeria’s financial system by providing reliable credit information, innovative solutions, and accessible financial tools that empower individuals and businesses to make informed decisions,” he added.
He noted that the launch of the upgraded mobile app represents more than a technological improvement, describing it as a strategic investment aimed at improving customer experience and expanding access to financial services in the country.
