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.
