Wema Bank Plc is celebrating the 9th anniversary of ALAT by
Wema, Africa’s first fully digital bank, marking nine years of transforming how
Nigerians experience banking.
Launched in 2017, ALAT by Wema was introduced as a bold response to the limitations of traditional banking, long queues, physical barriers, and slow processes. By eliminating these constraints, Wema Bank redefined banking as a fully digital, instant, and accessible experience, enabling customers to open accounts, transact, and manage their finances seamlessly from anywhere.
Over the past nine years, ALAT has evolved beyond convenience
into a comprehensive digital ecosystem designed to meet the changing needs of
individuals, businesses, and a new generation of financially aware users. From
enabling structured savings through features like ALAT Goals to simplifying
payments and expanding access to financial services, the platform has
consistently delivered solutions that empower users and drive financial
inclusion at scale.
This journey of continuous innovation has positioned ALAT not
just as a digital banking product but as a platform that adapts, grows, and
evolves alongside its users.
To commemorate this milestone, Wema Bank has launched the ALAT
at 9 campaign, a series of customer-focused activities, rewards, and
interactive experiences designed to celebrate users while deepening engagement.
As part of the anniversary celebration, customers can access
their personalised ALAT Wrapped, offering a simple, visual summary of their
journey on the platform, which can be downloaded and shared across social
media.
Customers can also participate in the 9 Features in 9 Days
experience by engaging with a designated feature each day. Completing all nine
activities unlocks rewards, encouraging consistent and active use of the
platform.
In addition, customers who complete their 9th transaction at
exactly 9:00am or 9:00pm will receive instant rewards.
The celebration also features the ALAT Evolution Jingle
Challenge, inviting customers to create and submit the second verse of the ALAT
jingle for a chance to win rewards.
Speaking on the milestone celebration, Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, said;
“ALAT at 9 is not just a celebration of time. It is a
reflection of how far we have come and a clear indication of where we are
going. Over the years, we have continued to evolve with our customers, building
a platform that is not only functional but also engaging and rewarding. This
campaign is designed to give back to our users while reinforcing our commitment
to innovation and customer experience.”
Also commenting, Chief Digital Officer of Wema Bank, Olusegun
Adeniyi, noted that the anniversary campaign was designed to merge everyday
banking with meaningful engagement.
“With ALAT at 9, we are transforming routine banking into an
interactive experience. By combining personalised insights, gamified missions,
and real rewards, we are creating a platform that responds to users in a more
dynamic and rewarding way. This reflects our vision to build a digital bank
that is intuitive, adaptive, and centred around the customer,” he said.
The anniversary activities will run from May 2 to May 31st, with customers encouraged to log into the ALAT app to participate, complete tasks,
and unlock rewards.
Existing customers can access the experience by updating the
ALAT app via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and signing in with their
existing details. New customers can download the app and get started in minutes
to enjoy the full range of features and anniversary benefits.
With ALAT at 9, Wema Bank continues to reinforce its
leadership in digital banking, delivering not just financial services but a
platform that continues to evolve with its users and rewards them at every stage
of their journey.
