Understanding Cowri

Before you create, know the product. Here's everything you need to tell the Cowri story accurately and compellingly.

What is Cowri?

Cowri Credit is a tuition financing service that lets you pay your child's school fees in affordable monthly installments for up to 4 months — instead of paying everything upfront.

Apply through the Sproutly mobile app, get instant credit decisions, and manage everything digitally.

The Problem It Solves

School resumption is one of the most financially stressful periods for Nigerian families. The pressure of paying full school fees upfront leads to delayed enrollment, disrupted learning, and mounting household debt. Cowri eliminates that stress entirely.
