To further enhance financial inclusion and touch more lives across Nigeria, the microfinance bank will deploy Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals, bringing basic financial services like deposits, transfers, and withdrawals closer to people in informal and underserved areas. Additionally, WealthBridge plans to expand Main Trust MfB’s physical presence by opening new branches in strategic locations, in the future subject to regulatory approval, ensuring proximity, personal service, and a deeper market penetration. The Bank will also apply artificial intelligence to improve customer service delivery and product launch engagements.
