It said in a statement that the bank currently has over
180,000 Firstmonie agents, spread across the country’s 772 Local Government
Areas.
The statement said, “Firstmonie agents have been integral to
bringing financial services closer to the underbanked and unbanked segment of
the society, providing convenient banking services that are easily accessible,
thereby saving time and travel costs for individuals in the suburbs and remote
environments with no access to financial services.
“Popularly referred to as the ‘Human ATM’, Firstmonie agents
are empowered to reduce the reliance on over-the-counter transactions while
providing convenient personalised services. Among the services carried out by
the agents include account opening, cash deposit, airtime purchase, bills
payment, withdrawals and money transfer.”
Through various empowerment and reward schemes implemented
to put its Firstmonie agents at an advantage to economically impact their
immediate communities while having their business sustained, it said its agent
banking scheme had remained a toast to Nigerians, irrespective of where they
are in the country.
