With its location in every neighbourhood, Firstmonie Agents
have been integral to filling the financial exclusion gap, providing convenient
banking services that are easily accessible, thereby saving time and travel
costs for individuals in the suburbs and remote environments that have no
access to financial services.
The Bank’s financial inclusion activities is in line with
the mandate of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to ensure the availability of
affordable financial products and services to all individuals and groups of
people in the country; irrespective of location, literacy levels, familiarity
with technology and accessibility to modern infrastructural facilities. The
Firstmonie Agent channel is amongst the Bank’s many initiatives to expand
financial access in the country.
Appreciating the Firstmonie Agents, Mr. Chuma Ezirim, Group
Executive, e-Business & Retail Products, First Bank of Nigeria Limited
said;
“The roles played by our Firstmonie Agents in promoting
businesses across the nooks and crannies of the country cannot be
overemphasized as they have continued to set the pace in extending financial
inclusion to communities with little or no access to financial services.”
“With our Firstmonie Agents in every neighbourhood, several
communities have witnessed a surge in business and financial activities, which
is contributory to national growth and development. We commend our Agents and
are delighted to support them with credit facilities, which they can access
24hours a day in less than 2minutes.”
