Rapid Naira profess to be a quick loan application and was formerly hosted on Google Playstore with the dubious claim of offering reliable instant lending to Nigerians. The app was launched in August 16, 2021 by Sun Constellation. Before Since its launch, Rapid Naira already has well over five thousand (5,000) downloads as at the time of this publication.
What Rapid Naira Promises
Rapid Naira promises to get you urgent loan in just few steps and and in minutes. The platform claims their loans are for Nigerians and that you can borrow between N6,000 to N300,000 and repay between 91 to 365 days. They also claim to charge interest rate from 2.4% to 12% monthly with an equivalent APR of 4.8% – 24%. This application promises to deposit the loan in your bank account within minutes with no paperwork, no collateral, no guarantor, no hidden charges, and so many other fake promises.
What Rapid Naira Really Is
After thorough investigation, VERY SERIAL can authoritatively report Rapid Naira is a fraudulent and fake loan application. It has no quick loan to offer anyone, and it has never given any loan whatsoever before. It is just an application that is designed to steal money from innocent users and undiscerning borrowers and at the end of the day give them nothing. Once you fill in your account and banking security details into their app platform, they will continuously be debiting and stealing your money with the name FLW Professional Service, Lekki.
Rapid Naira Has No Website, No Physical Office and No Social Media Pages
We understand that Rapid Naira is a fraudulent faceless app and people should stop downloading or patronising them. It has no physical office address, no website, no single social media and no website link whatsoever. Nigerians are hereby warned and advised to desist from using this application and go to Google Play Store enmass to report and expose their fraudulent acts.
Any mobile application by Sun Constellation should be placed on red alert. They formerly have Rapid Naira and also Prime Loan on Google Play Store and people are advised not to download any of these two or any other that can be linked to Sun Constellation wherever they are found. If you have installed and used any of these applications before now, you are adviced to quickly block access to your banking details and ATM.
After receiving lots of complaints from the public about the fraudulent act of Sun Constellation operating with the name FLW PROFESSIONAL SERVICE LEKKI, it is still shocking why banks and regulatory authorities haven’t frozen their bank account, as they still continue defrauding hapless Nigerians.
How Google Finally Removed Rapid Naira, ForNaira and LCredit, Other Fake loan apps from Play Store
Google has finally removed Rapid Naira, For Naira and LCredit from its Play Store for allegedly violating its set policies on finance apps operations. These are scam apps that have been scavenging poor Nigerians and violating Google Policies on lending apps.
So many apps on Google Play are violating their policy on lending and repayment and we call on the search giant to enforce its rules and call them to order. The plight of Nigerian consumers are at stake. Regulatory authorities have also been called upon by this platform to enforce local laws on these loan sharks.
Why Google removed Rapid Naira and LCredit from its Play Store
More revelations have emerged why the internet giant, Google removed Rapid Naira and LCredit loan apps from its Play Store. Both apps have been found to be violating Google policies on loan application, loan approval, terms and conditions, and privacy polices guiding finance apps hosted on its network.
Apps such as Rapid Naira, LCredit and ForNaira and some others on Google Play Store have been found to be predating on poor Nigerians and violating Google Policies on lending apps.
According to one of the policy statements of Google for loan apps hosted on its Play Store: “We only allow personal loan apps with full repayment required in greater than or equal to 60 days from the date the loan is issued… apps that fail to do so will be removed without further notice.”
Another Google Policy states that: “Any app that offer personal loans with an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 36% or higher are no longer expected to be available on the Play Store. To keep their apps in the Play Store, lenders must adjust their products and business models to meet Google’s requirements.”
However many of the lending apps, including LCredit and Rapid Naira give loan ranging from 7 days to 30 days at very exhorbitant interest rate and APR higher than that specified by Google. The network should enforce its policies and show these violating apps the way out.
Rapid Naira Forces Unsolicited Loans On Customers With Outrageous Interest
Their latest method of scam however is perpetrated against their subsisting customers who already have their app downloaded on their phones and have once borrowed money from the fraudulent online lending platform. Their scheme is to transfer a given amount to you unsolicted, and then double it on the dashboard with loan shark interest, and ask you to repay bacl principal and interest in 7 days time.
Rapid Naira is now forcing its “unsolicited loans” on all of their previous customers even after uninstalling their app, since no one is patronising the fraudster app anymore. If you have ever gotten a loan from them or have ever installed their app on your phone, it means the platform already has your banking details and account number safely on their database.
The app randomly send different amount of money to those customers on dubious interest rates sometimes for up to 100% APR and interst rate. God help you if you fail to pay in 7 days time, your number will reverberate all over social media space as a debtor withyour full details and photographs, calling you unprintable names.
Rapid Naira is one of the most notorious and dangerous fraudster of a loan app, and one of the earliest to be booted out of Google Play Store and operations shut down in Nigeria after series of damning report on them. The loan app has no physical office, has no website or social media page, has no facebook or instagram page.
Rapid Naira Loan App Harassment: I Was Forced To Take A “Loan” Of N16,425 To Pay N23,443 In 7 Days -Lagos Borrower
Their latest victim is Simisola Olayiwola (not real names), a female student who lives in Lagos. Simisola told us that she has once downloaded Rapid Naira app and borrowed money from the platform apparently before it was banned and kicked out of Google Play Store.
Simi told us she had also paid in ful the loan she borrowed. With just this transaction Rapid Naira like all other loan apps in Nigeria has already downloaded safely all her contact details, her phone details, her BVN, NIN, bank account details, photos, etc. Unfortunately she did not uninstall the app from her phone.
Armed with this tools, Rapid Naira transferred money to her account this morning without she asking for a loan from the app. The loan shark then calculated an astronomical interest rate and added it to the amount trasnferred and displayed it as her repayment amount in 7 days, almost doubled.
This is the height that a loan app can get to in Nigeria. This is the height of scam, fraud and dubiousity. Simi is just one out of several Nigerians Rapid Naira is duping silently while the government and regulatory authorities are silent!
Read her testimony below:
So I just finished my workout this morning and I was on my phone, an alert of N16,425 came in and I was even happy because I thought someone sent me money. However on closer observation, only for me to check it and I saw that it was a transfer from Rapid Naira. Now, I didn’t ask for this loan and I went to check on the app and I saw that I’ll be paying back N23,433!! Without as much any request from me.
Please I didn’t order for the loan in any way, they just sent the money to me. Though Rapid Naira have my details because I once borrowed money from them some times ago, but then I’ve repaid all my debts with them! I have tried every effort at reaching out to them to no avail.
I have been looking out for their customer care number but I couldn’t find any. Please help us escalate this because I want to return their money to them, plus I don’t need, I never demanded for it. This is just the height of fraud and scam.

How Sterling Bank And Moniepoint Microfinance Bank Is Complicit In This Rapid Naira Scam
This is what Rapid Naira have been doing with all their customers since they became jobless having been banned from Google Play Store. They will send you money and expect you to pay about 50% interest in 7 days time.
Our investigations reveal Rapid Naira uses Moniepoint Microfinance Bank to transfer those fruadulent and unsolicited loans to customers. This means they have an active account with Moniepoint MFb. Our findings further show that the loan app has an active account in Sterling bank which they use in recovering their scam loan repayment.
How the authorities haven’t discoverd this money laundering account and issued a lien on them is what perplexes this medium. Where’s Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in all this? Where is Dr Irukere and his team in FCCPC with all their barkings and clamping down on illegal loan apps bank account?
Moniepoint is a relatively new FINTEC that provides banking solutions that enable businesses to collect payments, access loans, manage operations and ultimately grow their business. Moniepoint claims to give loans up to N5M for businesses, a claim this medium cannot independently establish. In April 2022, Moniepoint relaunched its product, as a business bank. The company said the move was in order to power business dreams of Africa’s real economy, and provide financial happiness to all.
Moniepoint, which would serve as a micro-finance bank, was developed to address the needs of several small businesses, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that have been neglected over the years by legacy and digital banks.
However for Moniepoint to allow its banking service to be used by Rapid Naira loan app means its allegedly complicit and should be investigated by the Nigerian Financial regulatory authorities since Rapid Naira has been banned by Google and by the Nigerian Government over its fraudulent dealings. Rapid Naira has no office, no office addrsss, no website not a single media page or phone number. It however has an email on its app which customers use to reach the app as follows
