Nigeria’s largest system integration company, CWG PLC has strengthened its partnership with Vericash, provider of an innovative software platform to drive an ecosystem of collaborative mobile financial services, which will ultimately boost Nigeria’s financial inclusion quest.
Speaking at a workshop organized by the two companies for banks in Nigeria, Tereigh Ozakpo, CWG’s Business Development Manager, explained that the Vericash mobile banking solution, which has been in the Nigerian market in the last six years is an Omni channel plus digital solution, which allows banks to operate all their digital channels on one platform.
He said unlike other platforms, where the banks have to start development from the scratch, which usually takes several weeks, the Vericash mobile banking platform is agile as the integration layout which is already developed, allowing a customer to just customize.
“One of the biggest advantages of having Vericash mobile banking platform as your digital banking partner is that it has the ability to aggregate all your digital channels together. It is a platform that helps a bank to drive and synchronize all of its digital services in a single platform, thereby increasing the level of control and ensuring conflict resolution is faster,” he said.
Tereigh added that the Vericash mobile banking platform is designed in such a way that there can be synergy between two banks signing on the platform. He disclosed that this happens because Vericash has the Vericash network, which is very robust and allows various customers on the platform to collaborate seamlessly and faster as it allows them to access a large customer base beyond their ecosystem.

Thus, Vericash thought it wise to bring its digital banking solution to help them address the challenges in the digital banking ecosystem.
Asked why Nigerians should patronize the Vericash mobile banking platform over and above other solutions in its class, Mohammad explained that the Vericash platform establishes an ecosystem of the future as it orchestrates a sufficient marketplace for its clients, third-party service providers and customers for leveraging and consuming different mobile financial services seamlessly.
