What is Project S.C.A.L.E.?
Project S.C.A.L.E. (Securing Consumer Access for Local Enterprises) is a CREDICORP initiative to grow Nigeria’s local industries by channeling consumer credit to purchase of goods and services of local vendors and manufacturers.
​
S.C.A.L.E. is a bold step toward supporting Nigerian enterprises by accelerating demand, which in turn grows local industries and creates jobs. This program connects credit-backed consumers with credible local manufacturers and vendors across critical sectors. CREDICORP, via S.C.A.L.E, seeks to drive 1 million credit-backed consumers to local vendors and manufacturers.
