Like MTN MoMo Payment Service Bank Limited, Airtel Africa has said that its subsidiary SmartCash Payment Service Bank Limited has commenced operations in Nigeria.
SmartCash Payment Services will initially be available at selected retail touch points, and operations will be expanded gradually across the country over the next few months.
The chief executive officer of Airtel Africa, Segun Ogunsanya, in a statement explained that: “I am very excited to announce our commencement of operations for financial services in Nigeria through SmartCash PSB.
“This is the beginning of our journey to revolutionise the financial services landscape in the country. To help further digitise the economy, and most importantly to help bank the unbanked by reaching the millions of Nigerians who do not currently have access to financial services by delivering current and savings accounts, payment and remittance services, debit and prepayment cards and more sophisticated services.”
