Carbon Emergency Loan is an emergency cash facility from Carbon, built for Nigerians who need funds urgently — for medical bills, sudden repairs or other unplanned expenses — without waiting for a traditional bank loan process. Carbon's emergency facility is designed for urgent needs and is available around the clock with no branch visit. Applications are handled through the lender's mobile app and disbursed to a bank account shortly after approval.
Speed and cost
Loan sizes for this emergency product generally range from ₦5,000 to ₦200,000, with interest typically quoted between 5% and 30% depending on the tenor chosen and the applicant's credit profile with the lender. Because speed is the main selling point, confirm the exact fee and repayment date displayed in the app before accepting, as these can vary by applicant.
