Credit Direct is turning the Nigerian kitchen into a BNPL use case

▤ Summary

Credit Direct Checkout is extending BNPL into Nigeria’s kitchen appliance market through integrations with Electromart, Sims Nigeria, and Eight Sage. Customers can pay 25% upfront and split the rest over up to six months, with credit limits up to 1,000,000. The service works across in-store, website, and WhatsApp channels, and merchants can close transactions without a full e-commerce stack or developer support. The article also highlights fast merchant settlement, a business wallet that earns returns, and low-friction customer onboarding. The broader signal is that BNPL is becoming a standard retail feature rather than a standalone fintech product.
