How mobile banking is promoting a cashless Nigeria

cashless Nigeria
The emergence of modern and smart mobile services has enabled banks and other financial institutions to offer services to customers on the go; without the need to access the four walls of a bank and on a 24/7 basis. These services range from account opening, funds transfer, payments for goods and services and account statement among others. This is mostly through an application software on the mobile device provided by the financial institution.

Mobile banking is gradually phasing out the use of cash for transactions with virtual representation of cash. With the proven benefits of the mobile banking systems most financial institutions have incorporated it into their operations, it's a win-win for all parties, customers no longer need to be in banking halls for transactions therefore ease and simplicity provided, and the banks minimize operational cost in this regard.

With the increase in sophistication of mobile services, the institutions can leverage this to offer dynamic services in line with taste of millenials who are always with their mobile devices, this may include;  video support services, constant application update to check malware and bug vulnerability. Personalization option is an engaging service in mobile applications such as preferred language, personal details such as picture and social media integration where users can give feedback.

The one thing that encourages the adoption and continued usage of mobile applications is the user experience, this is how people interact and use the application. The financial institutions should endeavour to offer a mobile service that is so intuitive that people only need a little or no guidance to get started. So a short and friendly tour of the basics can achieve this, also, a nice appearance makes the application lovely and an easy login makes the whole experience simpler.



To encourage usage of the application, the institutions can offer push notification service to remind users occasionally about the application because some people install applications on their devices and forget about them, the continuous usage will develop the user's confidence on the use of such services.

The most important point to note is security; both the financial institutions and the users should be aware of possibility of data compromise which can result to financial loss. The institutions should incorporate necessary steps in safeguarding their data while users should be wary of giving out their phones and pins untrusted persons and when in doubt notify the institutions support services.

In Nigeria today, just a few banks have gotten it right like United Bank for Africa Plc, with their mobile banking application, judging from my experience.

  8. Hello everyone 2years back I had $64,000 in debt, including $22,340 in credit card debt. My credit score was nothing to write home about. I managed to get most of my debt removed in bankruptcy and I was left with $8,000 car loan and $35,000 in student loans. I determined not to repeat my mistakes again I was recommended by a credit agency to contact a credit film who would help fix my credit and clear my loans she then referred me to this credit company called Rapid Credit Repairs she has been working with years ago who specializes in fixing credit report. I contacted them through their mail RAPIDCREDITREPAIRS@GMAIL.COM text +1 (415) 754 7204 they got a little info from me and started from raising my credit score to 790 after which they cleared my outstanding pending bills. I bounced back quickly; I am currently on my feet and on my way to buy a house. Thanks so much RAPID CREDIT REPAIRS you guys are simply the best

  10. My name is Andrew Walker, I don’t have much to say but am here to thank TROVIAN CREDIT REPAIRS which i got their contact after visiting my sister and her family and told them my situation at hand how i was knocked out of my home because I was unable to renew rent and my credit profile was messed up in the past. They recommend Trovians to me how they are good in fixing credit, so i contacted them and told them if it’s possible to fix my credit report that has been messed up they gave me a positive answer and they went ahead with the job. In less than 5days my score was raised from a low 478 to 805 excellent and they cleared the eviction, collections late payment. Am happily living well in my new home. I will also recommend you out there to contact them now via email (TROVIANCREDITREPAIR@GMAIL.COM +1 505 926 3648) for your credit repairs services.
