Being smart with your finances also means being stealthy about who you transact with online. The internet or mobile or social networks can be faceless.

Mobile Banking vs Mobile Money vs Mobile Wallet

These three concepts are interrelated due to the niche where they operate, the fintech world. They are not the same thing but many financial institutions name their apps randomly making each platform appear sometimes confusing. The names however have a ring to them that speaks volume of the concept of being "mobile", on the go. That exactly is what they all have to offer, automating banking and financial transactions on mobile devices. This give users more mobility and flexibility of doing business transactions and other activities at any time and anywhere. Financial activities have grown beyond the traditional banking sector.

On many occasions have mobile money apps being denoted as mobile wallets. The understanding of these different fintech platforms seems to elude people and organizations who have found it hard to give any clear definition to their apps. The

Digital Finance Can make Your Life Easier and Strengthen Nigeria Economy

The earlier we adopt digital finance the better for the economy and for all parties concerned,humans, banks, corporate bodies, or the government? Just mention it.

In the not too distant future, I am patiently awaiting that time when in Nigeria and Africa as a whole people will fail to recollect the last time they went to a bank branch to make a payment. Digital finance has transformed rich countries, where many now consider paying bills online, sending money to biz partners and family from phones, and not having to wait in line at the bank, as a norm.

In developing nations, however, two billion people don’t have access to basic financial services such as savings accounts and credit. That’s almost half of the developing world’s adult population. Giving most of these people access to those services using mobile phones and the internet would increase the GDP of emerging economies by $3.7 trillion by 2025, according to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute. That’s a 6% boost.

...explained "I am still paying you only that the money will go into your bank account".

The driver retorted, "Who told you I get bank account?" Jovially seeing that the man is no more tensed he said "Oga, big man like you go get one now."
By this time, the driver was curious and the passengers were listening in on the conversation with each one eager to know about the end of the drama. One more person and the bus would be ready for take off.

By 10:02am his taxi stopped by the Iwo road park. Lagos buses are always conspicuous from any direction in any park, even all over Nigeria. Getting down, the sun was shinning crimson gold, so bright Ope had to cover his face from the illumination. He complained to nobody in particular "Na wah o, the kind weather wey we dey experience these days sef" and switching to Queen's English almost effortlessly "Is this not too much for a Monday morning now?" His grumbles was about the heat he would experience on whichever bus he might board eventually. As he was walking towards the inner section of the motor park, different conductors rushed, dragging him and trying to buy him over when he told them his destination he was left with just one of them who guided him to the loading bus.

Adding to his discomfort was a throbbing ache on the right side of his head, from the temple down to the nape. Runny nose was automatic, right eye grew red and teary with the pulsating pain stringing the right part of his face with each beat of his heart. He sometimes experience this sensation whenever he's faced with a stressful situation like this very one. It was as if the devil himself is organizing a party around that part of his body. Ordinarily, he would have opted out of the interview if it hadn't being his childhood dream job, and the urgency involved.

Thank heavens, the migraine did not last long as always but the short intense fit of about 10 minutes was soul-wrenching.

After securing a seat, two more passengers would get the bus filled up. This is serious, there would be not much wait for him to get a cash at the ATM close by. He looked in the direction of the bank, shook his head, the same old story. Throngs of angry and anxious users are on a really long queue. Each person on the lookout for anyone to try to outsmart, lynching with curses will be inescapable. The sun is scorching no be small.

Plan B was activated, trying his luck with the driver before he started collecting the fare.

"I better try my luck with the driver", that seems to be the best move now was his conclusion. He was calculating frantically how to break the ice, these drivers can be lousy and derisive. He would have to bargain with the driver using mobile banking option to pay  else joining the next turn and the god-forsaken ATM queue would be a bad choice but who knows...

He approached in the most polite way as he could but the man answered back half-heartedly. Drivers do not count politeness as a virtue, they are used to polite perverts in the park every other day, to them, no one is to be trusted.

Ope started almost doubting his own words but suddenly gained the courage "Oga I beg o, I get one issue." he paused a little, expecting a feedback, none came and he continued
"I get one very important appointment now, in fact if I no reach Lagos in 2 hours time na serious problem for me".

The driver answered "So?" vaguely and with clear disinterest not minding who was talking.

Ope furthered "its about the fare..." and abruptly, the driver cuts in
"Eh..en, what about the fare? Is it too expensive again? You know how much we buy fuel per litre now? You..." 

He was ranting away when Ope interrupted with "No, it's not that. I do not have cash on me here but I have a way to ..."

"No no no no no..." he was so loud that every person nearby was gazing in their direction.
All the passengers in the driver's bus were already onto was was transpiring, the whole show was ongoing beside bus.
He continued "...go get the money or join the next turn, I no be father Christmas. Abeg na money..." he did the sign of counting money using his right fingers to scrape the left palm repeatedly "...money money I want else join the next bus."

He allowed the driver to calm down a bit and ...

It has become an early morning ritual, laying on the sofa after each wake to surf the net for twilight news or check through his mail before any other thing.

Mobile Banking in Nigeria

Mobile banking: USSD Banking in Nigeria

USSD Mobile banking in Nigeria

See Mobile banking in Nigeria for a general introduction to mobile banking.

Unstructured Supplemetary Service Data (USSD), that is a technical term in the telecommunication industries you do not have to bother much about unkess a nerd, to dig more about it on google.

We are more concerned about its application to the world of mobile banking.

Of course you are familiar with the use of telecommunication companies' (telcos) USSD codes to query for various information about your account. In Nigeria, *556# and *123# fetches your airtime balance with MTN and Airtel network respectively, by prompt on-screen response on your mobile. The response displays your expected information from the service provider. It is no more a telcos thing, USSD is gaining more ground across many fields that have adopted technology in passing information across to people. East Africa most especially Kenya is championing the course of mobile technology on a global scale, companies such as Hamwe Technologies a mobile value added services provider and aggregator with SMS and USSD gateway connections to mobile network operators, has rolled out a couple of USSD implemented services across sectors such as agriculture, health, finance etc.

In response to the concern that the majority of Nigerians are either underbanked or unbanked, the division was set up to drive inclusion through nationwide deployment of agent networks known as Paypoint Agents.

The Paypoint agents carry out financial services in their neighbourhood on behalf of Interswitch. These financial services include Bill payments (PHCN, LAWMA, DSTV), Funds Transfer, Airtime recharge, Cash deposit and withdrawal among others. This is a direct competitor to Paga agent services, check them out, which is equally a fantastic service. They are all out to give the best in serving Africa The Paypoint locations are built in partnership with existing businesses who have already been recording considerable footfall. The agents are raised through a standard process which involves proper documentation and adequate training -this makes it possible for the agents to be able to serve the customers in neighbourhood adequately.

Interswitch is an Africa-focused integrated digital payments and commerce company that facilitates the electronic circulation of money as well as the exchange of value between individuals and organisations on a timely and consistent basis. 

The company started operations in 2002 as a transaction switching and electronic payments processing company that builds and manages payment infrastructure as well as deliver innovative payment products and transactional services throughout the African continent.
