Glo Xchange’ll empower Nigerians –AgentsAgents of Nigeria’s premier super mobile money agent network, Glo Xchange, have commended Globacom for the platform, which is aimed at deepening financial inclusion and promoting Nigeria’s electronic payment system.
A cross-section of the agents who gave the commendation at various town hall meetings in Ibadan, Benin, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ikeja and Lekki in Lagos over the weekend described the platform as an ingenious income stream that would lift their businesses.
Mr. Raphael Arokoyo of Real Imagination Limited, who attended the Ikeja meeting, said: “This is a good means of economic empowerment for Nigerians.” He was confident that the mobile payment option would catch on.
“There is no business without its teething issues. When ATM started, it was difficult to accept. But today, it is taking shape. So, I believe that with the strength of Glo and all its partners, the mobile wallet will be a good venture,” he said.
Arokoyo said, “it is easy to operate a mobile wallet because it does not require much education because as long as the user can operate a phone, you are in business.”
He added: “It does not require start-up capital, adding that using Glo’s support to brand our shops saved costs.”
Another prospective agent, Mrs. Eucharia Ajaegbu, who is a provision store operator in Ojo-Alaba, Lagos, said Glo Xchange was a welcome development that “will make business transactions very easy. It will improve the earnings of small business people. I love it and I hope it goes well,” she enthused.
In her contribution, Mrs. Mercy Nnamani, a teacher and provision seller in Ojo-Alaba said, “Glo Xchange does not need start-up capital. With Glo’s support in branding our shops, it is easy to run and less stressful. I believe it will thrive.”
Speaking after an interactive meeting at the Lekki venue of a training programme, one of the prospective agents, an exporter and financial services provider, Mr. Osita Udoye, said that after listening to the lecture he believes “Glo Xchange is good and profitable for agents.”
Mr. Alex Muia, Globacom’s Mobile Money Specialist, told the audience in Benin City that, “a lot of people who keyed into mobile money when it was first introduced in Kenya are today millionaires in their own ways.
“All it takes you to be a Glo Xchange mobile money agent is to have a small shop in a corner street in your neighbourhood and become the local bank for your community, where you live by registering customers, receiving cash deposits and paying out cash withdrawals like a normal bank,” he said.
