Nigeria: Banks, Fintech to Integrate Data Bundle Service On Platforms

25 August 2024

Banks and fintech companies can now integrate data bundle service directly into their platforms, with the Application Programming Interface (API) designed by S.Mobile for MTN data bundle distribution.

S.Mobile's API is designed to empower banks and fintech companies to provide customers with a more streamlined and convenient way to purchase and manage data, significantly improving their overall experience. The API has been designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind, making it easy to integrate into existing systems.

This new solution, according to S.Mobile, Enugu-based company, is tailored to meet the needs of banks and fintech companies, offering a seamless, efficient, and scalable platform for distributing and accessing data bundles.

Speaking during a media interaction, the CEO of S.Mobile, Adonu Kingsley, said, by using the API, banks and fintech companies can expand their service offerings, attract new customers, and increase engagement with their current clientele. "The ability to provide MTN Data Bundles directly through their platforms opens up new revenue streams and helps build stronger customer loyalty.

"One of the standout aspects of this API launch is its potential to drive financial inclusion across Nigeria and beyond. By integrating data bundle purchases into banking and fintech platforms, S.Mobile is helping to bridge the digital divide, making it easier for customers to stay connected and access digital services.

This is particularly crucial in regions where access to data is essential for participating in the digital economy", he said.

Adonu added that the partnership between S.Mobile and MTN is strategic, leveraging the strengths of both companies to deliver top-tier services to end users. "MTN, one of the largest telecommunications providers in Africa, brings extensive network coverage and reliability, while S.Mobile contributes its expertise in digital solutions and financial technology. This collaboration is expected to set a new standard in data bundle distribution, offering customers more options, greater convenience, and a superior service experience.

"The launch of this API is just the beginning of S.Mobile's broader strategy to enhance digital service delivery across various sectors. As the company continues to innovate and expand its offerings, it remains committed to empowering businesses with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. Banks and fintech companies looking to integrate the API can expect a robust and reliable service, along with ongoing support and updates from S.Mobile. This ensures that their platforms remain at the cutting edge of technology", the CEO said.
