How to configure offer letter and other templates

In lending, clear documentation is critical. Documents like offer letters, repayment schedules, and statements ensure both lenders and borrowers are aligned on loan terms and obligations.

  • An offer letter outlines the agreed loan terms such as amount, interest, fees, and repayment schedule.
  • A repayment schedule shows the borrower exactly when and how much to repay.
  • A statement or disclosure can provide legal, compliance, or informational content.

By configuring templates in the Lendsqr admin console, lenders can automate how these documents are generated, shared, and signed. This ensures transparency, legal compliance, and efficiency before disbursement.

Use Case Example

Suppose a borrower applies for a ₦100,000 loan to be repaid over 6 months.

  • The offer letter is generated with the full loan terms for review and acceptance.
  • Alongside it, a repayment schedule template can also be configured, automatically showing the breakdown of monthly repayments.
  • If your institution requires additional disclosures, you can upload a custom template so it’s always generated with the loan.

This flexibility means lenders are not limited to default templates — you can add any document type your business or regulators require.

If the document requires borrower acceptance or authorization, enable Requires Signature. When this option is selected, additional signature configuration options become available.

You can enable one or more of the following signature methods:

  • Upload Signature
    • Allows the borrower to upload an image of their handwritten signature.
    • Supported formats are JPG and PNG.

    • Allows the borrower to type their full name exactly as it appears on their valid ID.
    • The typed name serves as the borrower’s electronic signature.
  • Draw Signature
    • Allows the borrower to draw their signature directly on the screen using a mouse or touch input.

NB: Your uploaded template must have the variables {borrower_name} to represent the text signature and {%signature_image} for the uploaded or drawn signature.
