ALAT for Business is the bank’s digital app designed exclusively for business owners. While customers use ALAT to pay merchants, these merchants use AFB for bulk payments. On AFB, business owners can make payments to 5,000 beneficiaries in one transaction, optimise salary payments, invoice discounting, cash flow analysis, Form Q Initiation, and even FX transactions.
ALATPay on the other hand, is a payment gateway website that allows seamless payments with instant confirmation for customers and business owners. Wema NQR provides ‘scan-to-pay’ options for faster contactless payments via QR Code.
The Wema POS Machine allows businesses to receive card, transfer and alternative point-of-sale payments free of hassles. MyBusinessCard is a business card that offers business owners priority service in branches, increased transaction limits, supplementary cards like Virtual Cards, discounted offers on ads, and HR solutions, among others.
Ayodele Olojede, Wema Bank’s divisional head of retail and SME, says this suite of solutions presents a unique opportunity to engender and accelerate digital and MSME empowerment in Nigeria.
“At Wema Bank, MSMEs hold a special place in our heart. Our dedication to supporting MSMEs with viable solutions and resources is not just ‘box ticking’, it’s a lifelong mission that we are committed to seeing through. These re-launched platforms guarantee business owners the flexibility of focusing more on profit-adding business activities.”
