Ecobank has extended its zero charge fee for digital money transfers below N5,000 till the end of September this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the free USSD session fee currently enjoyed by Ecobank customers, users of Ecobank Mobile, Ecobank Online, USSD – Ecobank *326# can continue to enjoy zero fee charge for digital money transfers below N5,000. New customers can also benefit from this by opening an Xpress account from the comfort of their homes by simply dialling *326#.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The zero charge for mobile money transfers by Ecobank\u00a0 commenced in March as part of the bank’s corporate action to cushion the rising spread of Corona virus. The decision to extend the zero charge policy is hinged on the bank’s drive to continuously encourage citizens to adopt digital\u00a0 banking particularly with the ongoing social distancing campaign targeted to check the spread of COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Olukorede Demola-Adeniyi, Head, Consumer Banking, Ecobank Nigeria, ” As a bank, our priority is people’s wellbeing. We place great emphasis on rewarding and identifying with our customers and citizens of Nigeria especially at a time like this. We are determined to ensure that the impact of the pandemic is minimal on citizens. We encourage our customers to utilize our digital self-service solutions including Ecobank mobile app, Ecobank Online, EcobankPay, Ecobank Omniplus, Omnilite and the rapid transfer app; where they can easily access their\u00a0 bank accounts, make payments, transfer funds, process salaries and carry out ancillary banking transactions from the comfort of their home and offices without having to visit the branches\u201d.<\/span><\/p>
