FirstBank has announced the deployment of Firstmonie agents to neighbourhoods across the country to enable Nigerians perform banking transactions with humans without stepping into a banking hall.
“With this bespoke channel, FirstBank is committed to empowering individuals without bank accounts and bridging the gap between high-tech service and low-literacy clients,” Nigeria’s pioneer bank said.
It added that the Firstmonie agent is the FirstBank “human ATM” empowered to reduce the reliance on over-the-counter transactions while providing convenient personalised services. T
The Firstmonie agent is equipped to carry out the following services – account opening, cash deposit, airtime purchase, bills payment, withdrawals and money transfer.
“Becoming a Firstmonie agent in your community is another way to make extra income from your thriving business,” the bank added.
Firstmonie agents are owners of small businesses within communities with limited or no banking penetration, who have been enlisted on the FirstBank network which cuts across all 36 states in the country.
The Firstmonie agent market activation train is currently making its rounds in Lagos, having already made stops at Alaba International Market and Ikorodu.
