Who it's for

Solo builder or 2-person team in Nigeria; monetize via affiliate commissions from banks, fintech apps, and loan providers across West Africa

How to build it

1. Scrape or API-partner with 8–12 major Nigerian banks (GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA, Opay, Palmpay) + regional fincechs for real-time rates, fees, loan terms 2. Build a fast comparison table UI (React/Next.js) where users filter by account type, minimum balance, transaction fees, interest rates 3. Add a 'best for me' quiz that asks income, savings goal, transaction frequency—recommend top 3–5 products 4. Integrate affiliate links: each product click/signup earns 0.5–2% commission from partner banks or loan providers 5. Launch in 1–2 states (Lagos, Abuja) with organic SEO + WhatsApp/Twitter ads targeting savers and loan seekers

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian banks and fintech platforms actively pay affiliate commissions (0.5–2% per signup); user trust in local product is high; minimal competition; you already know the pain (bank fees, loan rates) and can build faster than foreign tools; payment rail friction is solved because banks already have local integrations
