Our Story

Built on Mutual Trust Since 2017

A cooperative born from a simple but powerful idea — that communities can finance themselves, together, without interest.

Our Origin

From Shared Frustration
to Lasting Solution

Ibadan (Boluwaji) Alliance Progressive Cooperative was established in 2017 out of a shared desire to create access to affordable and interest-free financial support for its members.

The founder recognized the challenges many individuals faced in obtaining loans without the burden of high interest rates, and envisioned a cooperative system built on mutual trust, support, and collective growth.

Driven by this vision, a group of like-minded friends came together and began contributing funds regularly. These pooled resources were then made available to members who needed loans — providing timely financial assistance without interest.

Over the years, the cooperative has continued to uphold its founding principles of unity, self-help, and financial empowerment, serving as a reliable source of support while promoting economic stability and community development.
