This partnership opens up a great opportunity to contribute to the social and economic wellbeing of the country where we have been operating since 1999. The campaign which Burna Boy will spearhead aims at not only raising awareness for our innovative digital offering but also at further enhancing financial literacy and inclusion initiatives across the country, and this is an exceptionally important undertaking for the future of banking.’

Commenting on the partnership, Burna Boy said I am excited to be working with Standard Chartered Bank and privileged to be chosen to support their efforts to enhance accessibility to banking services for Nigerians.
