Is A Pawn Business Possible In Nigeria? by somehow: 12:33pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
I have had this thought for a while now which keeps growing, but knowing how disorganised our identity caputirng is in Nigeria, I keep getting afraid. Do you think a pawn business /store can be a success in Nigeria known to be deficient when it comes to data and identity management plus low security? Please advise or share your opinion. 1 Share

Use BVN and NIN and you have identity sorted. There are private identity databases that capture information not captured by these. Cross reference the two. If the person doesn't register in the public and private identity databases, they fail KYC. Then don't deal. That's the solution |

somehow:Don't do it. Nigeria and Nigerians have a way of messing up good and viable initiatives that work in other developed countries. It is in our blood |

DUNKA:Thank you. By "messing up", you are referring to? |
Re: Is A Pawn Business Possible In Nigeria? by somehow: 3:27pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
FEGEITOK: Thanks Meaning their NIN and BVN details must match? You know the pawn business has different departments within it. Can the above suggestion work for let's say the loan aspect, the lease and then the actual pawn apart from the buying and selling departments? |
Re: Is A Pawn Business Possible In Nigeria? by FEGEITOK: 4:45pm On Feb 03, 2022 |
somehow: You can use just BVN. You can use just NIN. You can use both BVN and NIN. You can use BVN and private identity data. You can use NIN and private identity data. You can use BVN and NIN and private identity data. It all depends on your risk appetite. The loan apps all over use just BVN. Maybe they have upgraded to NIN, not kept up with developments. Yes it can work for the loan, lease and pawn aspect |

You will need a lot of documentation, record keeping, verification, affidavit to avoid being accused of receiving stolen items. Also common sense and instinct is important here. Otherwise, it’s a good idea. Find out how to get notary public license first. For each item you buy, have the seller sign under oath that they are the bonafide owner. Apart from using NIN or BVN, seek their permission to take photographs of them and only make payment to bank accounts. So that the money and the person can be traced if need be. 1 Like |

sonnie10: Thanks. True.. Enough knowledge needed when it comes to recognising fake items from real ones. |

Focus on buying and selling only for a start. Deal with products you can identity like phones, electronics, furniture etc. Employ someone who has the skills to identify quality. As for KYC I doubt if you can have access to governments bvn or NIN database. Make the sellers sign documents. Pay directly to bank accounts. Obtain copies of government ids Wish you luck |
