The bank also assured its customers at the launch of its digital bank on Monday that SMS notifications sent to them and transfers within Nigeria “are absolutely free.”
In addition, Standard Chartered Bank announced Nigerian icon, Damini Ogulu, also known as ‘Burna Boy’, as its digital bank ambassador.
Launching to the public on Monday, the bank said its digital offering marked an important milestone in the path towards innovation and productivity transformation in Nigeria.
It said the service was designed with continuous feedback from its clients, adding that the digital bank empowered customers to bank on their terms.
