A leading credit bureau and financial data institution in Nigeria and Africa, CRC Credit Bureau, has launched an upgraded CRC mobile app designed to give customers seamless access to their credit information and essential financial services on one platform.
During the recent launch, the organisation said the enhanced application forms part of its push to redefine digital credit management while expanding financial accessibility for individuals and businesses across Nigeria.
According to the firm, the upgraded mobile application introduces new features aimed at strengthening security, improving customer experience, and expanding digital service offerings.
Among the new features is biometric login functionality that allows users to securely access their accounts using fingerprint authentication and Face ID.
The company said the enhancement enables faster login while maintaining strict data protection standards and strengthening overall platform security.
The mobile app also features an integrated wallet system that enables users to top up their wallet balance for transactions within the application, a development expected to streamline payments and reduce transaction friction.
The wallet functionality, it was learnt, also includes a show-and-hide balance option designed to give users greater privacy and control over their financial information when using the application in public or shared environments.
It was stated that the upgraded application further expands CRC’s digital services by enabling users to conveniently purchase utility services, including electricity payments, airtime, mobile data, and cable television subscriptions such as DSTV, GOtv, StarTimes, and Showmax.
The integration reportedly 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 drive, the company said the mobile application now allows users to register directly for CRC training courses, simplifying access to educational programmes aimed at strengthening financial capacity in the market.
Speaking at the launch, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of CRC Credit Bureau, Dr ’Tunde Popoola, said the development reflected the organisation’s broader digital transformation strategy.
He said, “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 added that the company would continue to invest in technology to deepen trust and transparency within the financial services sector.
“CRC remains committed to investing in technology that enhances transparency, improves accessibility, and strengthens trust within Nigeria’s financial services ecosystem,” he stated, adding that the initiative aligns with CRC’s long-standing mission of strengthening trust in the country’s financial system.
Popoola added that the organisation’s mission is to strengthen confidence in Nigeria’s financial ecosystem by providing reliable credit information and accessible financial tools.
“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. Today’s event marks another important step in that journey,” Popoola explained.
He said the launch represented more than a technology upgrade, but a strategic investment in improving customer experience and expanding access to financial services.
Explaining the design focus of the platform, Popoola said the company sought to build a secure and multifunctional digital tool capable of meeting evolving customer needs.
He noted that the application incorporates biometric login capability to ensure both convenience and stronger data protection. Popoola further said the application now allows users to access additional services beyond credit reporting.
“Beyond credit services, the CRC Mobile App now allows users to conveniently pay utility bills, purchase airtime and data, and subscribe to cable television services such as DSTV, GOtv, StarTimes, and Showmax. By integrating these services into one secure platform, we are creating a more comprehensive digital ecosystem for our users,” he added.
