Ayotunde Kuponiyi, managing director said the bank was delighted to partner with Federal Government through National Identity Management Commission on the NIN registrati­on exercise noting that this would afford Nigerians the opportunit­y to register and capture their biometrics seamlessly and quickly.

“We are committed to working with the Federal Government to ensure that every citizen enrolls for NIN as this would mean an easier identifica­tion process that had been lacking” Kuponiyi said.

He explained that Nigerians can register online through the bank’s platform and thereafter visit the nearest enrollment center to capture biometrics.he further stated that the bank has intensifie­d effort to rapidly expand the number of enrollment centers as it is currently recruiting thousands of Agents that will set up centers for enrolment all across the country.

“The process of onboarding as Agent is very simple, prospectiv­e agents can log on to our website and enroll first as an Agent of Hope Payment Service Bank and then register to become agent for NIN registrati­on,” he added.

While commending the Federal Government through the Ministry of Communicat­ion and Digital Economy for expanding and extending the registrati­on footprints to the bank, he assured Nigerians of the bank’s readiness to make the registrati­on easier through the platform. Nigerians can register for NIN enrollment by filling the NIN form on Hope Psbank website or Mobile app, and then go to any of our centers for data capture by presenting just their phone numbers and means of identifica­tion. This will significan­tly reduce the waiting period at the capture centers.

According to Kuponiyi, once the registrati­on is completed, the customer will receive a message which says “thank you for starting your registrati­on, please visit our nearest center or outlet for your data capturing”. He revealed further that the customer can view the authorized enrollment centers for biometric capture as contained in the message sent to him or her.

“We understand how important this exercise is to Nigerians and we are ready to play our part by ensuring that Nigerians get their NIN through our platform which can be accessed in various designated enrolment centres, “We are quite excited to be the only Payment Service Bank currently undertakin­g the NIN registrati­on exercise,” he noted.
