As part of our #JEETechTuesday series, this week we’re spotlighting the Digital, Electronic, Online, or Non-Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations (DEON Regulations) 2025, the most comprehensive framework yet for Nigeria’s rapidly growing digital lending ecosystem. Introduced by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) in July 2025, the Regulations aim to promote fairness, transparency, and accountability among digital lenders and fintech operators. Here are 5 key things to note: 📌 Registration and Licensing Obligations 📌 Transparency and Disclosure Requirements 📌 Interest Rate Oversight 📌 Consumer Protection and Privacy Standards 📌 Sanctions and Enforcement Measures These changes mark a turning point for Nigeria’s consumer credit landscape, ensuring stronger protection for borrowers and greater compliance expectations for lenders. #JacksonEttiandEdu #JEETechTuesday #DigitalLending #FintechRegulation #FCCPC

In case you missed it, here are top takeaways from one of our speakers at the TME Webinar on “Navigating Regulatory Compliance in the Nigerian Gaming Sector.” • Non-localization of cryptocurrency in Nigeria, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and the prevalence of duplicate websites continue to pose significant business risks in the gaming industry. • Gaming Operators should place greater emphasis on building and strengthening their brand reputation rather than focusing solely on operational costs. The long-term implications and potential benefits derived from a strong brand are of greater significance, particularly in relation to the development and positioning of their products.
