You mean with mobile banking?
Are you on support of MTN operating mobile banking in Nigeria?

Absolutely. But our supervising agencies are weak and unresponsive to global trends. MTN is more service efficient, customer focused and regulated in SA.

It requires alot of background work to address it's unique risks though and I don't see that in place yet. Probably the reason why it has not been approved.

But we can't keep telcos down for much longer. Global development will eventually force regulators to fall in line at a time they may be least prepared for it.

ITbomb:
Reminds me of Union Bank, those days, their old fat women used to make someone hate going to bank.
Them felt as if they were doing you a favor to attend to you.

I guess they never knew that someday people would be avoiding them like plague. Even to use their ATM, I rather trek a few distance to the next bank cos I don't know how many years it might take to resolve any ATM issues

Bro, their ATMs give mint notes. You're missing a lot.

Chukazu:


Not really relevant to Nigerian clime, we are too slow to adopt new measures so the banks are still having their ways.

The only thing that really "threatened their existence" was MMM.(as bank deposits drastically dropped) but now mmm is dead they can return to cheating Nigerians again

How did MMM threatened Nigerian banks when all its transactions were done through banks ?
In fact MMM forced many new participants to join the banking system.

MMM is not a bank and will never be!

You mean mobile money. A system which serves as an alternative for dirt-poor countries like Kenya which has one of the poorest traditional banking institutions and facilities! Where people carry their money in SIM cards.

That should be for market women and artisans.

And that's what you're canvassing for MTN to do here? A South African firm that can't even provide 1/3 of its services it provides in south Africa?

A company that was forced to adopt per second billing system? A company that was trailing in 3G and 4G implementation? Your Nigerian roots are not firmly entrenched in our geopolitical soil.

Nigerians don't need mobile money banking! We have one of the best banking institutions and facilities and cash base in Africa. They's why our banks and firms are spreading from West to Eastern Africa.

Nigeria isn't Kenya.

Kenya is not a dirt poor country. The 8th largest economy in Africa, and one of the most vibrant and diversified cant surely be categorized as dirt poor.

The mobile money system in Kenya, called Mpesa- wasnt invented because the traditional banking institutions in Kenya are poor. The challenges that were afflicting the Kenyan conventional banking industry when the mobile banking was introduced a decade ago were not dissimilar from the challenges faced by the Nigerian banking system today.

For starters, only 33% of Nigerians have bank accounts. That was pretty much the same percentage of the persons financially included in Kenya in 2007. Nigeria is not Kenya really?

Mobile money was not initially intended to serve as an alternative to the conventional banking system, rather it was created as a means of transfering money from person to person. Slowly it morphed, it diversified its range of services, among which included the similar services offered by banks ie savings accounts, lending services, etc.

The Mpesa is not just for those in the lowest strata of the society. It is used by people from all station in life. And it has made things really convinient here, ie I just paid for my wifi at the comfort of my chair.

Certain big banks in Nigeria are opposed to mobile banking cos of its potential to dent on their control of the market and revenue. But some 67% of Nigerians are financially excluded!

The market women and artisans are not lesser humans, undeserving of banking services.

Kenya is the leading country in Africa poised to become a cashless society due to the widespread use of mobile banking instead of cash. It is the mode of financial transaction almost everywhere, even the conventions banks have started offering their services via the mpesa services.

Nigeria is not Kenya, ah?



.........last time I checked, 70% of Nigerians are living in absolute poverty compared to just 40% in Kenya. Indeed, Nigeria is not Kenya.

Your long epistle is all baloney. Kenya has an economy of 70 billion dollars. That's not dirt-poor, it is pathetically poor. Laughable.

So when you say Kenya is 8th largest African economy, yes you may be right but it's a misleading possition as only Lagos state has an economy bigger than all of Kenya.

Secondly, 53% of Nigerians own bank accounts. Stop telling pathetic lies or pulling data out of your game reserves. And that number is nearly twice the population of the entire Kenya.

Mobile banking is pioneered by Kenya a country that has Africa's biggest slums and rely on wild animals, which was set up by private British citizens under charity to feed.

The other 47% are largely made up of people not legally qualified to own bank accounts due to age and of course the very old citizens.

Kenyan banks....I mean tge brick and mortar banks, are reaping huge profits these days, meaning more Kenyans are enjoying these banks' services.

The mobile money technology is inferior to u cos it was invented in Kenya, Africa. Were it was first developed in the America, the west or in the far east? I bet tht u would have appreciated the technology, without all these negative opinion regarding the idea.

Why mobile money such an unimpressive idea when the mobile phone itself is such an impressive piece of invention, a necessity for all these days. We Kenyans made it a tool for more than just calling and texting, turned it into a bank.

Now, regarding the slums....slums cover just 6% of the Nairobi total area.

Nigeria's banks are known for their poor customer service, a constant complaint all over the internet, as well as the fact that loan fraud is rampant in Nigeria simply because you have no ID system and not all banks have verified their customers biometrically(which btw is a recent phenomenon in Nigeria)

Union Bank is not employing Engrs but banking and finance graduates, look where they are today.

Point of correction.
The evolution and re-evolution of the Nigerian banking sector shares no blood or link with the influence of parasitic engineers (unqualified) working in the sector.The evolution of the nigerian banking sector started as early as 1952 with series of government reforms and policies which were supervised by the Apex financial institution. It started from the era of Banking regulation down to the golden era of recapitalization policy which every one believes that widens the scope of the Nigerian banking sector.

Secondly, the qualification ( Banking and finance) of the caliber of people working in Union Bank has nothing to do with the financial services they render.
Union Banks that we see today choose to deliberately capture a certain section of consumers which are mostly old men, pensioners and retirees.
If you can visit and of their ATM gallary, whay you will see displaying on the screen is the picture of on old woman wearing old school clothe with afro hair style and with "WE ARE OLD GENERATION BANK" scrolling underneath hence, the need to tailor their financial services that suit their policy and customers.

Equity Bank Customers can access their money via card,app and yes,mobile banking as Equity runs a mobile network specifically just for that.
If Kenya's banking is so underdeveloped as you claim,why is it that Paypal allows withdrawals to Equity Bank
Why is Visa's Africa Headquartets in Nairobi?
Why is Mastercard's second largest market Kenya?
Why is it that mVisa was introduced in Kenya and South Africa first
If Kenya is so poor,why is it that only Kenya and South African banks issue American Express cards??
Same to UnionPay and Discovery.None operate in Nigeria.Union Pay is in Kenya and all merchants as of 2017 support Discovery in Kenya.

Who's this Lazarus from a 70 billion dollar economy waking up to a dead thread?

You're a 21st century noncompliant citizen. Let me upload your medevial life into the modern era.

Kenya, unlike the rest of the world primarily use mobile money as opposed to full internet banking or mobile banking which is popular around the world.

What you are championing is people carrying money in their phones which is actually for petty market women and artisans.

But then your economy is just a miserable $70 billion in worth. That's not even enough to build reliable banks with international clout and good structure.

Now , will you disappear like the belch of a debaucherous drunk?
