STERLING Bank Plc has launched Doubble, a new online investment portal, to cater to individuals in active workforce.

Doubble is an automated investment platform that allows individuals to participate at their convenience and get back up to 200 percent over a period.

Speaking on the initiative in Lagos, the bank’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dapo Martins said Doubble was designed to address the concerns of individuals who are looking to accumulate savings over a specific timeline to take care of future needs. He said: “With Doubble, a customer can choose to invest either a lump sum in one contribution or monthly contributions, which could be for the duration of 12 months to 60 months with all pay-outs remitted either monthly or once target is achieved to named beneficiaries.” Martins said the solution could function as an annuity to some customers, as it guarantees monthly payment to beneficiaries at regular intervals over a specified duration.
