\nEcobank (http:\/\/www.Ecobank.com<\/a>) has extended its zero-charge fee for
\ndigital money transfers below N5,000 till the end of September this
\nyear. In addition to the free USSD session fee currently enjoyed by
\nEcobank customers, users of Ecobank Mobile, Ecobank Online, USSD –
\nEcobank *326# can continue to enjoy zero-fee charges for digital money
\ntransfers below N5,000. New customers can also benefit from this by
\nopening an Xpress account from the comfort of their homes by simply
\ndialing *326#.<\/p>\n

The zero charges for mobile money transfers by Ecobank commenced in
\nMarch as part of the bank’s corporate action to cushion the rising
\nspread of Coronavirus. The decision to extend the zero-charge policy is
\nhinged on the bank’s drive to continuously encourage citizens to adopt
\ndigital banking particularly with the ongoing social distancing campaign
\ntargeted to check the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

According to Olukorede Demola-Adeniyi, Head, Consumer Banking, Ecobank
\nNigeria, “As a bank, our priority is people’s wellbeing. We place great
\nemphasis on rewarding and identifying with our customers and citizens of
\nNigeria especially at a time like this. We are determined to ensure that
\nthe impact of the pandemic is minimal on citizens. We encourage our
\ncustomers to utilize our digital self-service solutions including
\nEcobank mobile app, Ecobank Online, EcobankPay, Ecobank Omniplus,
\nOmnilite, and the rapid transfer app; where they can easily access their
\nbank accounts, make payments, transfer funds, process salaries and carry
\nout ancillary banking transactions from the comfort of their home and
\noffices without having to visit the branches\u201d.<\/p>\n

She further stated that “At Ecobank, we are always finding ways to
\nimprove our customer experience digitally, which is why I encourage our
\ncustomers to upgrade to the new Ecobank mobile app 4.0. Customers can
\ncarry out banking transactions and enjoy some of the new features that
\nthe app provides, such as the ability to send money via email or SMS and
\nof course, take advantage of the zero charges on money transfers below
\nN5,000\u201d.<\/p>\n

She added that the bank was also supporting over 50,000 farmers across
\nthe country to grow maize, under the CBN Anchor Borrowers program with
\nthe Maize Growers, Processors and Marketers Association of Nigeria
\n(MAGPAMAN).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
