Residents of Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State are benefiting from improved access to financial services following a large-scale financial inclusion initiative by eTranzact International Plc, under which the onboarding of over 1,000 agents and the deployment of thousands of PocketMoni terminals across communities in the area are ongoing.
The initiative, which was launched through the company’s PocketMoni Business platform, was designed to expand access to digital financial services in underserved communities while creating income opportunities for residents and small business owners.
Executed in collaboration with the Zonal Community Development Committee (CDC), Obafemi Owode, the programme forms part of eTranzact’s commitment to extending financial services beyond urban centres and bringing convenient banking solutions closer to the grassroots.
The growing network of agents and terminals now enables residents to carry out everyday transactions, including cash withdrawals, transfers, bill payments and other financial services within their communities, reducing the need to travel long distances to access banking services.
Gboyega Kareem Adeleke, chairman of the Zonal Community Development Committee (CDC), Obafemi Owode, described the initiative as a significant step towards improving financial access and economic activity within the local government area.
