“With the addition of Static Wallets and Instant Settlement on ALATPay, we are removing barriers that slow down business growth while reinforcing transparency, security, and efficiency. This is not just about payments; it is about giving businesses the confidence to scale in a fast-changing digital economy,” he said.

Echoing this sentiment, Mr Damola Bolodeoku, Divisional Head of Payments Business at the bank, noted that the upgrades directly address two key challenges for businesses: reconciliation and cash flow.

“By creating dedicated account numbers that make reconciliation seamless and ensuring transfers are done instantly, we are giving businesses greater control over their transactions,” Bolodeoku said.
