    FAQs

    No, we’re not a bank. We’re Lula. We build innovative fintech products to help SMEs succeed. We’ve partnered with Access Bank, our sponsor bank, to bring you a business banking account.

    We know it takes a lot of trust when it comes to your hard-earned cash. If you’re ever unsure about anything, open a chat and let’s talk, human to human.

    Our website uses the highest level of encryption. Our business accounts are powered by Access Bank and we comply with all relevant banking regulations. 

    We’re also PCI compliant and manage your bank card data following strict data security standards. 

    Creating a Lula business account is completely digital. Here’s what you’ll need: 

    • To verify your identity: Your ID book, a valid permit or visa for foreign national passport holders.
    • To verify your address: Your lease agreement or any statement not older than 3 months.
    • To verify your business registration: 

    If you’re a sole prop, make sure you have your UTR (unique tax ref) doc. 

    For companies registered Prior to the New Companies Act, we need your CM1 + CM22.

    If you registered after New Companies Act, please submit:

    COR 14.1 + one of the following:  COR14.3, COR17.3, COR18.3, COR20.3.

    Lastly, if you’re operating as a close corporation, please submit your CK1 and CK2.

    Yes. A valid permit or visa for foreign national passport holders, but you need to have a local address and proof of it to verify your account. 

    Less than 10 minutes. We’ve timed it.

    Having easy access to cash is probably one of the most important things, that’s where Lula comes in.

    The biggest challenge we face is access to cash. What Lula has enabled me to do is take that worry about cash flow away.
