Carbon recently introduced a membership performance score that shows each Carbon users their score level which is based on their overall activities while using the mobile loan app. In case you don't know what I meant by Carbon, they are the No:1 mobile loan provider in Nigeria, Carbon is second to none in Nigerian when it comes to mobile loan platform.
We are going to discuss about the Carbon Score, why it matters, and how to improve your score.

I know almost everything about them and before we proceed, I will like to show you some of the interesting posts I have published in the past related to Carbon.
