Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank) has opened the first digital playground for children in Nigeria.
The GTBank play centre, located in Lekki, Lagos State, is equipped with a wide range of interactive games that will give kids fun-filled digital experience while aiding their mental and intellectual development.
The playground is open from 10 am to 3 pm on weekdays, and 10 am to 1 pm on Saturdays. Some of its features include the sketch town, where kids can design cars, launch rockets, and bring all their sketches to life.
Also, children can use the wide range of bricks available to build whatever excites their curiosity and also express themselves creatively by scribbling, writing and drawing on a digital chalkboard.
GTBank recently launched Habari, a digital platform that gives customers unlimited access to local and international music, and at the same time, allows them to shop online, split bills with friends and take care of their everyday needs, in one place.
Habari, like the GTBank play centre, is the first of its kind in Nigeria, reflecting the bank’s digital drive as well as its focus on creating unique experiences for all segments of its customer base.
Commenting on the launch of the play centre, managing director and chief executive officer of Guaranty Trust Bank plc, Segun Agbaje said: “How and where children play contributes significantly to their cognitive and intellectual development, helping them build better communication and problem-solving skills.
“Our new play centre will give children a tension-free space to build these critical developmental skills, expose them to new and emerging digital technologies, and most importantly, give them a wonderful time out.”
He further stated that “at GTBank we are passionate about building the bank of the future, and for us, this means constantly leveraging the best of technology to create amazing digital experiences for all of our customers, in a way that adds real value to their lives.”
