fets mobile money product, fetswallet, enables the transfer of money from one point to another (person, business, government) using electronic value of money on basic mobile phones.

Over the years, fets has acquired a growing portfolio of corporate clients from several sectors in the country inclusive of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FCMG), Health and government parastatals.

Commenting on the award, Managing Director, Omotade Odunowo said, “We are deeply honoured to have received this award and it further reaffirms the impact we have made in the Nigerian economy and society.

“Currently, 59 million adult Nigerians and 70% of rural Nigeria have no banking or formal financial institution presence, thus creating a huge physical barrier and high cost in accessing money and financial services.

“We provide mobile money, banking and formal financial institution presence, thus creating proximity, low cost and affordable access to money and financial services.

“Corporate mobile payments also present the opportunity to eliminate inefficiencies whilst making substantial cost savings.  We will continue to do all we can to maintain our excellent customer satisfaction rate.”

Last year, fets also received the Best Mobile Payment Technology Company from the Institute for Government Research & Leadership Technology as well as an award for best mobile utilities payment provider in 2016 from the Mobile Money Africa.
