Following a record-breaking attempt to sign up one million customers in one day on May 2, ALAT By Wema is now the number one ranked finance app in Nigeria.

As part of its fifth-anniversary celebrations, the digital banking platform powered by Wema Bank, held widespread offline and online activations to onboard new customers, while rewarding existing customers.

The impact of the customer acquisition drive saw ALAT move up three places to become number one among the top finance apps in Nigeria on iOS Appstore and Google Play.

ALAT also closed the day (May 2) as the number one on the Free App Chart, and number 45 Finance App on the World Top App Chart.

While much of ALAT By Wema’s new ranking links to marketing activities on May 2, the functionality of the platform is a key reason Nigerians have adopted it.

Since its launch in 2017, the bank has helped Nigerians support lifestyles with refreshing digital banking offers.

It has helped Nigerians build a healthy saving culture through flexible automated saving features. In line with this, the platform recently rolled out a Spend and Save feature to help Nigerians save more money while making transactions.

ALAT also offers collateral-free loans, scheduled bill payments, a free debit card and a virtual naira card.

Customers can also make bulk payments, open a domiciliary account without visiting the bank and make investments with high-yield interests.

The platform also has a corporate banking app, ALAT for Business, which supports Nigerian businesses in making bulk payments and carrying out other business transactions.

“We have always been number one,” Segun Adeniyi, the Chief Digital Officer of Wema Bank states.

“When you look at our track record, we are Africa’s first fully digital bank, we kick-started branchless banking in Nigeria, which included the delivery of free debit cards, and have been pioneer enablers of the fintech industry in Nigeria.”

Adeniyi explained that the bank intends to build on this ‘tradition of firsts’ and continue to empower lives through innovation while providing seamless digital banking services to Nigerians both at home and abroad.
