“Our journey has just begun,” said CEO of 9PSB, Branka Mracajac. Four years ago, we embarked on a bold and groundbreaking journey to launch Nigeria’s first payment service bank, setting out to reshape the financial landscape beyond mobile money and agent banking. It all started as a vision, a commitment to democratising access to financial services for all Nigerians and we are unwavering in that respect.”

“The past four years have been anything but easy – a journey marked by relentless challenges and uphill battles. Yet, through sheer determination and unwavering commitment, we have built the foundations of something truly remarkable. This anniversary is also a moment to reflect on and honor the support and contributions of our customers, partners, staff and ex-employees who were part of this journey. Their dedication played an essential role in bringing us to this point. Join us, as we celebrate four years of accessible banking for all,” Mracajac remarked.

Innovation and inclusivity are key to 9PSB’s philosophy. To guarantee a flawless experience for its customers, the bank has consistently improved its digital platforms while providing the means for their customers – both B2C and B2B – to thrive.

The bank’s flagship products include Bank9ja – a mobile payment solution accessible through the mobile app and USSD channels, and its agent banking services with its own network of agents. Furthermore, the bank has also launched several B2B products that are powering fintechs and businesses. Some of these products include Wallet-As-A-Service, Virtual Account (Pay with bank transfer), Payout with 9PSB, Instant Settlements Solutions, Disbursement Solutions amongst others.
