Head of Agency Banking of a leading payment service bank, MoneyMaster, Julius Arhebun, has disclosed that the promotion of financial inclusion is one of the core mandates of the service.
He said this recently as the bank introduced a new 100MB data offer for every transaction made in the offer, which is available for Glo customers using the bank’s USSD banking code, *995#.
The initiative is meant to incentivise the unbanked and underbanked population to ease the creation of their own mobile wallet via its USSD banking platform.
According to him, the offer builds on the various financial education “we have been providing online and across our various customer touchpoints.”
He added: “With this new 100MB offer, we want to encourage Nigerians in the unbanked and underbanked pools to be financially included by having at least a mobile wallet.
“The account number of this mobile wallet is derived from their mobile number, and can be easily recalled.”
MoneyMaster PSB is a leading provider of innovative digital financial products and services that transform lives and contribute to sustainable living.
The PSB has the mission to deepen financial inclusion and has been instrumental in providing financial technology services to bridge the gap between the banked, underbanked and unbanked population.
The payment service bank recently unveiled a 10 per cent data bonus for existing and new customers who are on the Glo network for recharges of N1000 or more.
The offer has been adjudged as one of the best in the country, based on the volume of data on offer to customers.
The data purchases for the MoneyMaster services have a 30-day validity while unused data can be rolled over upon next plan subscription.
