The Nigerian banking sector has welcomed another new member with OurPass, a one-click checkout company opening shop for banking and allied services in the country.

 

This follows the company’s rebranding into a global neobank for businesses poised to stimulate commerce in Nigeria.

 

This was contained in a statement to the media, under the signature of Founder/Chief Executive Officer, OurPass, Samuel Eze.

 

The statement states that OurPass would be rendering financial services to aid businesses with access to banking, payment and business management tools to enable them start, grow and scale up as desired.

 

Eze said, “OurPass launched in 2021 after raising a $1m pre-seed led by Tekedia Capital with a goal of helping businesses increase their sales conversion rates by eliminating long entry forms at checkout using its one-click checkout solution.

 

“However, as the business observed the market and conversed with its customers, it recognised that beyond offering a niche service, it could provide end-to-end solutions that helped entrepreneurs grow every aspect of their business.

 

“With a mission to create a borderless world of successful businesses, we are committed to making it easier for businesses, irrespective of size and location, to gain access to banking services, but we are not stopping there.”

 

The neobank, it’s CEO added, would be supporting businesses with access to payment and management tools with unparalleled agility.

 

“We are also providing them with access to all the payment and business management tools they need to grow and thrive.

 

“The neobank offers free business account numbers in under five minutes when businesses sign up, access to capital to build their businesses, and great investment opportunities with its fixed deposits offering,” he added.

 

Eze also pointed out that OurPass’s optimised payment tools, such as POS terminals, QR codes, and instant transfers, would aid businesses to receive and make payments seamlessly.

 

“In addition, OurPass provides a quick invoicing tool to keep businesses organised and help them get paid on time, and is building out its inventory, storefront, and digital tag systems,” he said.

 

In addition, corporate management tools allow businesses to safely grant their teams controlled access to business information such as payment confirmations, and manage their branch operations from anywhere in the world with OurPass’ sub-business feature.

 

“Our pivot and the fact that we are still growing is a clear testament to our dexterity in adapting to changing times,” Eze stated.
