Targeting existing as well as potential customers, the new service has initially been rolled out at its corporate headquarters in Lagos and will gradually be launched in other parts of the country.

The new service allows customers to open new accounts, pay bills, save money, use ATM as well as make cash/cheque deposits and withdrawals.

Diamond Bank proposition and liabilities head Olumide Akindele said that the new initiative is part of the bank’s strategy to take banking to the customers, enabling them to carry out transactions with ease.

In order to launch the service across the country, the lender is also planning to purchase approximately 250 mobile banking trucks.

Designed to go anywhere and in accordance with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) cashless policy, the mobile van is fully secured for both those working in it as well as the money in transit.

Incorporated in 1990, Diamond Bank provides financial products and services in retail, corporate and investment banking.
