One Platform for Payments, Transactions and Cash Flow
The Ecobank Business App enables SMEs to manage payments, monitor transactions, oversee cash flow and run day-to-day financial operations from their smartphones. By digitising core banking activities, the platform eliminates delays, queues and operational inefficiencies that often slow down business growth.
Built for Nigeria’s Diverse SME Landscape
Speaking at the launch in Lagos, Kola Adeleke, Executive Director, Consumer and Commercial Bank at Ecobank Nigeria, said the app was developed to address the unique challenges facing Nigeria’s vast and diverse SME ecosystem.
According to him, the platform is tailored to support traders, retailers, tech start-ups, online businesses, hospitality operators, farmers, agro-processors, manufacturers, construction firms, professionals, social commerce entrepreneurs, schools, associations and other organisations that require transparent and efficient financial management.
Sector-Specific Benefits Across the Value Chain
Adeleke explained that the app delivers faster payment collection for merchants and retailers, seamless digital transactions for online businesses, and efficient vendor and staff management for hospitality operators.
For agriculture-focused businesses, the platform supports timely payments across value chains, while manufacturers and construction firms benefit from secure handling of bulk and high-value transactions. Professionals such as lawyers and consultants can issue invoices and receive payments easily, while schools and associations can streamline fees, dues and financial reporting from a single dashboard.
Supporting SME Growth Through Digital Innovation
The launch reinforces Ecobank’s broader strategy of empowering SMEs through digital innovation, sector-specific value propositions and access to financial solutions such as structured loans, trade support, guarantees and equipment financing.
It also aligns with the bank’s efforts to reactivate dormant SME accounts, deepen market penetration, accelerate digital adoption and scale value-chain financing through partnerships with corporate anchors.
Strengthening Ecobank’s Role as an SME Growth Partner
With the Ecobank Business App, Ecobank Nigeria is strengthening its position as a dependable growth partner for SMEs across all sectors, providing digital tools that enable businesses to manage operations more effectively, grow faster and compete more confidently in Nigeria’s evolving digital economy.
