Cashback Reward: Man Shares How PalmPay Transformed His Banking Experience

For Adekunle Aina, a senior executive at a consulting firm, turning to fintech platforms for transactions was initially out of the question as he was hesitant to trust newer banking solutions amid the cash crunch.

However, as conversations about PalmPay and other fintech apps became more frequent, he decided to give it a try. With caution in mind, he downloaded the app and began by depositing small amounts to mitigate any potential risks. What followed was a surprising shift in his approach to banking.

From the moment Adekunle started using PalmPay, he noticed the ease and efficiency of the platform. The app's user-friendly interface allowed him to navigate services seamlessly, making transfers, paying bills, and topping up airtime effortlessly.

Even with initial reservations, Adekunle quickly recognised PalmPay’s reliability, especially during peak periods like the holidays when traditional banks often experienced network issues.

Adekunle has always nursed the fear of eating out and worried that network downtime might leave him unable to pay the bill. To his surprise, the transaction was processed instantly without any glitches. That experience, free of the usual embarrassment he had feared, solidified his trust in PalmPay as a dependable financial partner.

Reflecting on his experience, Adekunle shared: “PalmPay changed the way I think about digital banking. I started small, but now I use it for almost all my transactions. It’s fast, reliable, and gives me peace of mind knowing I won’t be stranded when I need to make urgent payments. PalmPay is not just where you go to access loans, it is more than that – it’s a platform that truly simplifies and enhances financial transactions.”

PalmPay’s cashback rewards and zero transaction fees further elevated Adekunle's experience. Each transaction came with benefits, allowing him to save as every naira counts in today’s economic climate.

Another customer, Chukwudi, a phone accessories vendor, found PalmPay's no transfer fees feature to be a game-changer for his business. As a businessman, he quickly realised that people were starting to embrace digital banking, which made it crucial for him to find a reliable financial partner.

Chukwudi explained: "A colleague recommended that I open a PalmPay account to avoid the transaction fees I was constantly paying to POS operators. When I added up those costs, it became clear I needed a better solution for managing my funds. Imagine having to deal with the increasing fees from the POS operators with the N50 levy recently introduced. Initially, I hesitated because I thought the process would be as complicated as traditional banks, requiring bills and other documents. To my surprise, all I needed was my BVN or NIN to open the account. I completed the Know Your Customer process and upgraded to Tier 3, which allows me to handle larger transactions. Since opening my PalmPay account, my business has been thriving, and payments have become easier without any extra charges."

Customer service also stood out for PalmPay customers. Customers have testified to the proactive communication by the brand which has reinforced confidence in the app and deepened brand loyalty.

Adekunle’s experience reflects a broader trend highlighted in the 2024 KPMG West Africa Banking Industry Customer Experience Survey. The report recognised PalmPay for its exceptional customer service, outperforming traditional banks in key areas such as reliability and ease of use.

Adekunle’s journey is just one of many, demonstrating how PalmPay is transforming banking experiences across the country and West Africa.
