Moniepoint Microfinance Bank said financial inclusion is a commitment to uplifting communities, nurturing businesses and enriching Nigerians.

The bank also announced that in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) goal of achieving 95 per cent financial inclusion by 2024, it has expanded its services into the personal banking segment.

At a recent conversation in Lagos on financial inclusion, the Acting Managing Director of the bank, Babatunde Olofin, stated the bank’s expanded role in the financial inclusion drive is an opportunity to power the financial happiness of millions of people across the continent.

He said the bank has powered the dreams of business owners while planning to include motorcyclists (okada riders) and market women in the financial services space.

“As transactions grow, we can expand our infrastructure and this is because we have several monitoring tools that help us to monitor how transactions are growing. Also, in every nook and cranny of the nation, we have our business relationship reps. Even in localities where there is no physical bank or ATM presence, you will find our blue boxes there,” he said.

Olofin said Moniepoint has birthed a robust and reliable digital payment infrastructure that has carried out an average monthly transaction of $12 billion for about 1.6 million businesses.

Olofin also announced the bank’s gamified in-app approach that will see thousands of users win N2,000 weekly and a grand prize of N10 million as part of its efforts for an enjoyable user experience for consumers and powering the dreams of many.
