The lucky Nnewi indigene who is resident in Warri, Delta State told journalists shortly after he received the monwy at the Diamond Bank headquarters in Lagos that he downloaded the app on Valentine’s Day after seeing how easy and simple his friends did their banking transactions using the app on their mobile phones.
Telling his good story with excitement, he said that, “I see my friends use the mobile app on their phones … and that night I decided to download the app because I was tired of stressing myself always to go to my branch to transact business but little did I know that I will be getting a valentine’s gift from downloading the app that fateful day”. Overwhelmed with joy and appreciative to the Bank for the monetary reward, he stated that the money would go a long way in helping him to beef up his business capital, pointing that he recently
graduated (gained his freedom from his master) after learning and acquiring trading and plumbing skills for six years. Speaking further he said: “In fact, I did not believe it when I kept getting calls from staff of Diamond Bank saying congratulations to me until now that I saw a cheque in my name.
The money is like a ladder for me because I just did my freedom as a ‘boy-boy’ from my oga and this money coming at this point in my life is a miracle”. Earlier in his remarks, the chief executive officer of the Bank, Uzoma Dozie, told the gathering that the reward ceremony was not just to celebrate the lucky customer but a celebration of the Bank’s leadership role in driving personalized digital banking, noting that having a million persons change their financial lifestyle using the Diamond mobile app is a milestone achievement. “The implication of today’s celebration is that we have committed a million persons to a lifestyle of executing financial transactions from anywhere in the world for as long as they have a Diamond Mobile App on any of their mobile devices”, he said. According to him, the Bank’s strategic goal is to ensure that people can do their banking on-the-go without their wallet or debit card but with just their mobile phone with a Diamond Mobile App. “And we intend to achieve two million mark faster than we did for the one million mark because Diamond Mobile App is not just convenient way of banking but a secure one because the complain of fraud on the platform is much more lower than other channels.” Reiterating Dozie, Rob Giles, Head, Transaction and e-Banking, explained that the advantage of the Diamond Mobile App over others in the financial services subsector is hinged on the simplicity and top-level security that eliminates most of the risks associated with executing financial transactions. Diamond Bank has continued to play leading role in driving digital banking and was the first in Africa to introduce a fingerprint recognition feature on its mobile app.
The service, an iOS Touch ID, is a fingerprint reader that allows users of the Mobile App an easy and seamless login to their accounts by simply recognizing and identifying their individual fingerprints.
