How Mobile Banking Makes Everyday Transactions Easier

Image
How Mobile Banking Makes Everyday Transactions Easier Mobile banking is changing how Nigerians manage money, pay bills and complete everyday financial transactions. The value goes beyond having a bank on a smartphone. It lies in helping customers complete important banking tasks without allowing those tasks to disrupt work, business, family responsibilities or personal schedules. A routine visit to a bank branch can take more time than expected. Customers may have to contend with traffic, travel time and queues. For a business owner, this could mean leaving a shop during a busy period. An employee may have to sacrifice a lunch break, while a parent may need to reorganise an already demanding day. Bank branches remain important for customers who require financial advice, documentation or assistance with complex transactions. However, many routine banking activities can now be completed digitally. The Fidelity Mobile App allows customers to conduct several transactions within...

AFTER 8 YEARS IN CAPTIVITY:GOSPEL ADVOCATE BABAWALE FUNSHO DAVID DECLARES "LEAH SHARIBU WILL BE SET FREE" AND APPEALS TO REV.MOTHER ESTHER AJAYI TO SUPPORT THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENT  Question: Can you please tell us about yourself, why you chose to advocate for Leah Sharibu, and who Leah Sharibu is to you?Answer: My name is Mr. Babawale Funsho David.

My journey in music began in the church, where I served as a choir coordinator and administrator, though I was never a prominent singer at the time.

This happened after church elders denied the youth choir department the permission to produce a gospel album, simply because the adult church had not yet produced theirs.Following this, a divine directive and prophecy came to me through two independent pastors and prophets who had never m...

The Person on the Other End of the Line

  This Customer Service Week, the extra mile starts with something simpler: making sure that when a customer, caller, or visitor needs a human being, one is there. By Olufunmilola ‘Funmie’ Aluko | Customer Experience Leader | Chief Brand and Marketing Officer/ Head, Customer Experience, Union Bank of Nigeria On any ordinary day, in any large city, the same moment plays out thousands of times. A woman calls her mobile network because her line has been barred and she cannot reach her children's school. A man rings a hospital switchboard, trying to find out which ward his father has been taken to. A small business owner stands at the reception desk of a large company, holding an invoice that has been unpaid for four months. A traveller dials an airline hotline at two in the morning from an airport she does not know. None of them is calm, and none of them has reason to be. What happens next depends almost entirely on one person: the agent, operator, or receptionist who answ...
