Hope Psbank begins free NIN registrati­on for Nigerians across offices nationwide

-

HOPE Psbank, a subsidiary of Unified Payment Services Limited and Nigeria’s premier digital- first bank, has commenced a free National Identifica­tion Number ( NIN) for Nigerians including its esteemed customers in all designated enrolment centres located in its regional offices across the country and head office in Lagos.

Hope Psbank has six regional offices across the geopolitic­al zones of the country located in Kano, Adamawa, Anambra, Oyo, FCT, Lagos and Rivers State. Its head office is also located in Victoria Island, Lagos

Speaking at the press conference to announce the NIN enrollment exercise on Thursday, February 11, 2021, in Lagos, the Managing Director, Hope Psbank, Mr. Ayotunde Kuponiyi stated that the bank was delighted to partner with Federal Government through National Identity Management Commission ( NIMC) on the NIN registrati­on exercise, noting that this would allow Nigerians 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 could 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 efforts to rapidly expand the number of enrollment centers as it is currently recruiting thousands of Agents that will set up centers for enrollment all across the country.

“The process of onboarding as an Agent is very simple, prospectiv­e Agents can log on to our website ( www.hopepsbank.com) and enroll first as an Agent of Hope Payment Service Bank and then register to become an 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 ( www. hopepsbank. com) 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.
