“This includes professional or trade associations, cooperatives, social clubs, unions, even old boys’ and girls’ associations and more.”

While noting that the company was keen on serving as many people as possible, she explained that Halo offered multi-channel access.

For those comfortable with technology, she said, with an app, mass-market customers could transact with Halo via a nationwide network of agents, and high net worth communities could access a managed service.

She stated that the fintech space in Nigeria was extremely competitive, so to meet Halo’s very ambitious goals, the firm had built a team of dynamic, knowledgeable, and committed professionals with a deep understanding of market realities.
