## The Problem & Solution
### The Problem
- **₦8 Billion Daily Loss**: Informal credit in Nigeria is massive but purely analog. Lost or damaged "tally books" lead to unrecoverable debt.
- **Dispute Deadlocks**: No digital proof of transaction when disputes arise between traders and customers.
- **Financial Exclusion**: 70M+ Nigerians on feature phones are locked out of modern smartphone-only fintech.
### The Solution: KreditKard
- **Digital Ledger**: Traders log debts in seconds via a mobile-first TailwindCSS dashboard.
- **Interswitch Integration**: Automatic provisioning of Interswitch Virtual Accounts for every recorded debt.
- **USSD/Transfer Payments**: Customers receive an SMS with a USSD code and pay from *any* phone—no internet or app required.
- **Instant Settlement**: Real-time payment confirmation via Interswitch webhooks automatically updates the trader's ledge.
