Ecobank Nigeria has launched a new e-marketplace,
mymall.com.ng, which aims to promote business growth of small, medium enterprises in Nigeria.
The online platform provides its users with access to customers across the world through the online display and sale of their goods.
Notably, sellers must belong to the Ecobank SME club, a status acquired through the opening of an SME account with the Bank.
“Mymall Nigeria is a website where customers can post their goods and services online and sell. It is a way of giving access to our SME customers to be able to reach more of their customers across Nigeria. We are creating a platform for our customers who necessarily do not have to have their own websites like Jumia and Konga.
They can rely on the malls we have provided for them. We also provide payment platform and logistics for them so that they do not have to invest in having their own infrastructure before they trade. We also know that as a bank, our outreach is so wide, so we make it possible for them to reach more markets and enhance their businesses, ” Deputy Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Tony Okpanachi said.
According to Okpanachi, the Bank was also motivated by enabling convenience in the sale and purchase of goods for Nigerians.
“The days when people go into the physical malls and offices to do transactions are almost over, people want to sit in their offices and homes and be able to do their transactions.”
