Interswitch, Africa’s leading Digital
Payments and Commerce Company has
formally announced the rollout of its Agent
Network Business ‘Quickteller Paypoint’.
Interswitch Financial Inclusion Services
(IFIS), trading as Quickteller Paypoint, has a
mandate to build an extensive network of
agents across Nigeria. The objective
includes improving access to financial
services for the unbanked and under-banked
Nigerians, by bringing a rich bouquet of
these services closer to them.
Commenting on this initiative, Divisional
CEO, IFIS, Mike Ogbalu said;
“It is common knowledge that agency
banking in Nigeria is currently behind
potential. Opportunities for the growth of
financial services are in abundance and
interestingly, our population remains an
untapped strength, Interswitch is on a
mission to positively impact the Nigerian
economy with Quickteller Paypoint.”
“Beyond bridging the existing gaps in the
adoption and availability of financial
services for Nigeria’s unbanked and under-
banked population, Quickteller Paypoint will
be creating sources of consistent and
additional income for agents and invariably
help create levels of sustenance and
economic balance for their families.
This will be achieved with the creation of a
vast network of growing businesses to act
as agents for the many e-payment services
Quickteller offers. Business owners who
desire an extra source of income, NYSC
members, job seekers, and anyone who is
seeking additional income, can all sign up to
become a Paypoint agent.”
With currently over 500 – and growing –
active agents in Lagos, Paypoint will be
expanding to Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Abuja,
Kano, and other cities, within the next few
months.
Poised to unlock the value of agency
banking and financial inclusion in Nigeria,
the target is to grow a network of agents to
150,000 by 2020 and increase the
availability of digital financial services in
financially-excluded locations across the
country from 44% to over 70% in the next
five years.
We can recall that in December 2015 at the
last Committee Of E-Business Heads
Conference, which held in Uyo, IFIS was
introduced to stakeholders in the e-business
industry, and Head of e-Banking, Fidelity
Bank, Adedeji Olowe had this to say;
“If there is a Nigerian organization capable
of taking this on, it’s Interswitch. Just like
they have been able to do with switching
and linking the banks, I expect them to be
able to make this work.”
Modelled to empower thousands of
Nigerians, the initiative, which is open to all,
will provide a source of income for the
unemployed and an additional source of
income for the employed.
Individuals, small to mid-size businesses,
institutions etc. can all become Quickteller
Paypoint Agents upon registration and
submission of requisite documentation.
Interested individuals and businesses are
required to call 01700IFIS, 017004347, or

simply look for a Paypoint agent in their
Neighbourhood, to get signed up.
