This will further drive the financial inclusion of the
unbanked and underbanked population.
With this collaboration, customers will now be able to
approach any of the over 150,000 MoMo agents in Nigeria at locations closer to
them to initiate and seamlessly conduct transactions such as payment of school
fees, water and electricity bills, tax remittances, internet subscription
renewals, money transfer, payments to state and federal government MDAs.
In addition, MoMo agents will be able to top up their
wallets on-the-go through any of Remita’s multiple payment options including
USSD, internet banking, debit/credit card, Mobile Wallet as well as through
branches of all commercial banks and about 400 microfinance banks.
Commenting on the partnership, Usoro Usoro, chief executive
officer, Y’ello Digital Financial Services said: “We are delighted about YDFS’
partnership with Remita, as it offers yet another opportunity to extend access
to financial services to a much broader section of Nigerians, directly
strengthening the financial inclusion aspirations of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, which we are committed to and in tandem with our brand promise.
“Our customers can access our services across Nigeria, as we
continue working closely with the support of our principal partner bank, Access
Bank, to close the financial gap among the under-served.”
Also speaking, Abayomi Oniku, divisional head of Remita
Business Development, said: “It is always gratifying to add value to humanity,
irrespective of who it is or their location. This is one of the reasons we are
excited about our partnership with Yello Digital Financial Service.
“Not only will this partnership provide more veritable means
for people in various communities across Nigeria to access already existing
financial services; it will also catalyse various initiatives at the community
level, with benefits spanning the entire value chain and further improving the
quality of lives.”
