When you approve a loan, the borrower needs a clear, professional document that outlines the exact terms, repayment schedule, and conditions. A well-designed offer letter builds trust, reduces misunderstandings, and creates a professional first impression.
Lendsqr makes it easy to configure and customize offer letters directly in the admin console. You can add your logo, company details, personalized borrower information, and specific loan terms so every letter looks consistent and branded.
This guide explains why offer letters matter in lending, when to use them, what you can customize, and how to configure them step by step in Lendsqr.
Why offer letters matter in lending
A professional offer letter serves several important purposes:
- Builds trust by presenting clear and transparent loan terms
- Reduces disputes by documenting exactly what the borrower is agreeing to
- Improves borrower experience with a polished, branded document
- Supports regulatory compliance by including required disclosures and disclaimers
- Speeds up the disbursement process because borrowers understand their obligations upfront
Without a proper offer letter, lenders often face confusion, delayed sign-offs, or disputes later in the loan lifecycle.
When should you configure and use offer letters?
Configure your offer letter template once, then use it for every approved loan. You will typically generate and send offer letters:
- Immediately after loan approval but before disbursement
- During the final confirmation stage with the borrower
- For every new loan, whether it is a salary advance, personal loan, or group facility
- When updating terms for loan renewals or top-ups
For example, a salary advance lender in Nigeria can send a quick, branded offer letter via email or WhatsApp so the borrower can review payroll deduction terms and sign off rapidly. A microfinance institution might use customized offer letters for group loans to clearly list each member’s responsibilities and repayment schedule.
What you can customize in an offer letter
Lendsqr allows you to personalize the following elements:
- Company logo and branding
- Company name, address, and contact details
- Borrower personal information and loan reference number
- Loan specifics (amount, interest rate, tenure, repayment schedule)
- Terms and conditions
- Signature fields for both lender and borrower
- Disclaimers and any required legal notes
These options help you create consistent, professional documents that reflect your brand.
How to add a template in Lendsqr
1. Log in to the Admin Console
- Open your web browser and log into the Lendsqr admin console with your credentials.
2. Click on “Document Templates” under Product Management
- From the main dashboard, go to Product Management and select Document Templates. This will display a list of all the templates you have created.

3. Add a Template
To add a template:
- Click the Add Template button.
- Upload your pre-created Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx), or start from Lendsqr’s default offer letter template and modify it to suit your business needs. Curly braces represent system-defined variables.

Fill in the required fields:
- Template name (e.g., “Loan Offer Letter”, “Repayment Schedule”)
- Template description (optional, to help you identify its use)
- Uploaded Template (.doc or .docx format)
- Template Type (Offer letter, Other Templates)
4. Configure signature requirement
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.
- Text Signature
- 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.
Once all fields and signature options are configured, click Submit to successfully add the template.


The configured template will now be used automatically when you generate offer letters for approved loans.
Tip: Always preview the template with sample borrower data to ensure everything appears correctly
