Digitvant Microfinance Bank (Digitvant MFB) has reiterated its commitment to inclusivity and making people the centre of its operations. This is as it seeks stronger ties with the media and development partners.

The bank’s Managing Director, Mrs. Florence Ogunyamoju, in a media engagement on Monday, explained the bank’s mission, achievements, and future plans. She said the bank will remain focused on deploying technology to serve the banking needs of everyday Nigerians—particularly those in the informal and underserved sectors.

“We are not just providing financial services; we are building dignity, unlocking potential, and creating pathways for prosperity,” she said. “Inclusive finance is not a privilege as it has been made to seem; it is a right.”

On Tuesday, indicated that the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kayode John Oluwagboye, further emphasised the strategic vision of the bank as a catalyst for grassroots economic growth.

“We are building a bank that understands and responds to the needs of real people,” he said. “Our strategy is anchored on sustainable practices, strong partnerships, and an inclusive model that prioritises dignity as much as profitability.”

The bank was conceived in 2022. Two years later, it was licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN. Its flagship product, market money, has empowered more than 50,000 entrepreneurs, while over 25,726

previously unbanked individuals were onboarded through the DigitvantPay mobile app, in addition to its various loan products.

“The event also emphasised the bank’s long-term ambition to become a pan-African leader in people-centred finance, underpinned by its six core values: Excellence, Innovation, Accessibility, Inclusiveness, Common Good, and Belief in Illimitable Potential.

“As Digitvant MFB continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact, the bank calls on the media, development partners, and the general public to join its movement to democratize finance and rewrite the future of providing inclusive financial services.”
