Tecno Wallet also integrates a “revolutionary digital Instant Credit service” that enables its users to access a credit line in seconds and enjoy an interest-free period of up to 16 days powered by licensed financial institutions. Traditional requirements such as paperwork, guarantors or fees are eschewed in favour of a data science-based approach that will empower customers to quickly access credit and grow their limit based on their payment behaviour.
In the near future, Tecno Wallet will also offer cashback and promotional rewards, along with discounts and deals with participating merchants and retailers, the company said in a statement.
