About this course

Set up and run an agency banking stand — manage cash flow, avoid fraud, and grow a loyal customer base.

See, agency banking is like you being a mini-bank for your area, especially where big banks no reach. Imagine you set up a small shop in your compound or even by the roadside with just a POS machine. People come to you to withdraw money, deposit cash, pay bills, or even transfer money, just like they would in a bank. You're bridging that gap, bringing banking services closer to the people who need it, whether it's Mama Ngozi needing to send money to her children in school or the Okada rider wanting to withdraw his daily earnings.
