AI agents for business finance: what they can and can't do
What AI agents can do in bookkeeping, close, collections and compliance today, where a person must stay in charge, and how to judge a product.
The short answer
FundQuest shows the rate, fees, limit and tenor on each loan offer, and we found no FundQuest page publishing fixed figures we could verify as at October 2026. If a fee is deducted at payout, your real cost is higher than the headline: on an illustrative ₦100,000 two-month loan at 5% a month flat with a 2% upfront fee, you receive ₦98,000 and repay ₦110,000.
What FundQuest publishes
FundQuest offers personal and small business loans in Nigeria, mainly through its app and online application. For this article we searched for FundQuest's published interest rates, fees, loan amounts and tenors, and found nothing we could verify in October 2026. Where review sites quote figures, they are undated or not linked to a FundQuest document, so we have not repeated them. Each FundQuest offer is priced for the applicant, and the terms on the offer screen or loan agreement are the ones that apply.
Before relying on any lender, check its licence and registration. FundQuest's background is covered in is FundQuest legit. If it lends through an app, it should also appear on the FCCPC's register of digital lenders; we did not check the register for this article, so look it up on the FCCPC site.
The upfront fee effect
Many Nigerian loans deduct a processing, management or insurance fee from the amount paid out. You then repay the full face value of the loan while having less money to use. The cost per naira you can actually spend goes up.
Worked example: ₦100,000 over two months
Illustrative figures, not FundQuest's.
- Face value
- ₦100,000
- Upfront fee, 2%
- ₦2,000 deducted, so ₦98,000 reaches your account
- Interest, 5% a month flat × 2
- ₦10,000
- Repayments
- ₦55,000 at the end of each month, ₦110,000 in total
- Total cost
- ₦12,000
- Cost as a share of money received
- ₦12,000 ÷ ₦98,000 = about 12.2% for two months
On paper it is 10% interest plus 2%. In practice it is just over 12% of the money you could use, for two months. Annualised, that is roughly 73% a year (12.2% ÷ 2 × 12), before any late charges. Use the same steps with your own offer.
How to read the rate on your offer
- Monthly or annual: a figure under 10% is often monthly; confirm the period on the screen.
- Flat or reducing: a flat rate charges on the full amount each month; a reducing rate charges only on the balance, so it costs less at the same number.
- What the fee covers: management, insurance and credit check fees may be listed separately; add them all.
- Total repayable: the single figure that lets you compare lenders. Our guide to APR versus flat fees shows why.
Limits and tenors
FundQuest does not publish a limit schedule. Lenders of this kind usually size the first loan cautiously and raise it after on-time repayment. Tenors are set in the offer. A longer tenor lowers each repayment but adds interest, particularly on a flat rate, where each extra month adds the full monthly charge on the original amount. In the example above, a third month at 5% flat would add another ₦5,000. For the application route, see how to apply for a FundQuest loan.
A published total to compare against
Because FundQuest's prices are not public, it helps to know what a fully disclosed short loan looks like. Access Bank's Key Facts Statement for its PayDay Loan, dated October 2022, sets out a ₦100,000 example: ₦10,000 interest at 10% flat, a ₦1,000 management fee and ₦300 insurance, a total cost of credit of ₦11,300, and an annual percentage rate of 120%. That is a one-month product for salary earners, so it is not a like-for-like rival, but it shows the items a complete offer should list. If your FundQuest offer does not show you a total cost in naira and the fees one by one, ask for them in writing before you accept.
What to check first
- Note the amount that will actually reach your account.
- Note the rate, its period and whether it is flat or reducing.
- Add every fee and the total interest to get total cost.
- Divide total cost by money received to see the real price.
- Check the FCCPC register and FundQuest's licence before signing.
