“This partnership also avails Fidelity Bank the opportunity to expand its network using the over 1800 post office facilities nationwide to take banking closer to the people in line with the Federal government’s Financial Inclusion policy which places high premium on providing financial services to the under-banked and unbanked populace, who work in the informal sector of the economy without or less access to financial services.

“The integrated Agency Banking services incorporate the collections of a treasury single account (TSA) on a single platform.

With this development, it means that NlPOST customers can also get banking services in the Post offices nationwide and can deposit and withdraw money, including payment of bills for utility services in Post offices where these services are available without stress.”

Speaking earlier in a welcome address, NIPOST General Manager, Finacial Service, Mr Mukhtar Baba had disclosed that government was determined to bring every Nigerian into the formal economy because those without access to banking services cannot have access to funding for their endeavours.

He explained that CBN and NIPOST had been partnering on Finacial inclusion.
“This partnership between NIPOST and Fidelity Bank will make financial services available to Nigerians especially in rural areas”, he stated.
