Privacy policy
Effective date: April 3, 2023
Northquest is committed to the protection of your personal information. We adhere to the guidelines set forth by the data protection laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
When a user makes an application by submitting their contact information using our website, the information we collect will be used to contact the user. The personal information and other information we collect from a user will be used to evaluate the applicant’s eligibility to obtain a credit facility with us.
The information provided to us by a user may be shared by our partners such as the Credit Bureaus in order to process the user’s credit history. Your information is only disclosed to partners that have been bound by confidentiality obligations and/or regulatory compliance.
Financial information such as your BVN number is used to verify that the individual applying for a Northquest loan is the same as the owner of the bank account provided. This is to ensure that a user’s details cannot be used to apply for a loan without their authorization in the event of a third party having access to their account information. Your BVN does not provide access to your bank account(s). We always encourage our applicants to confirm from their banks before using our service.
We take all precautions to protect every user’s information. The information submitted to Northquest by users is protected and available only to our customer care agents or service representatives, who are trained and up to date on current security and privacy practices.
Our goal is to minimize intrusiveness and maximize the protection of your personal information. When you provide your personal information through the Northquest website, be assured that your information is secure & discreet.
By entering your e-mail address and other contact details in your online application and by clicking the privacy checkbox in the application form, you consent to Northquest contacting you by phone, text message or e-mail to:
- Assist you in completing your online application
- Confirm and verify your personal information and identity; and
- Determine why you have failed to complete the application form (for example, if there were technical or other issues).
Northquest reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time. For the most up to date
