MoneyGram Partners with Diamond Bank to Provide Premium Transfer Services

  Diamond Bank is to partner with MoneyGram to provide premium money transfer services at strategic locations in the country. Mr. Uzoma Dozie, the Bank’s Executive Director, Retail Banking said in a statement that the partnership was an important milestone in providing secure and accessible money transfer services to meet the needs of our customers. He continued, “When we began money transfer services, the initial focus was to provide efficient transfer services to our customers trading across Nigeria so we spent about sixty per cent of our equity in building a convenient and accessible platform. Today, we are taking it to a different dimension and widening the platform to embrace Nigerians in the Diaspora.” Mr. Peter Ohser, Executive Vice President, MoneyGram USA and Canada said concerning providing money transfer services at strategic locations, “What this means is when your loved one sends you money from Paris, or Oslo or Moscow, or Tokyo, or New York, you can receive that money, in ten minutes, almost anywhere in Nigeria.” He sees it as a genuine way to provide a solution to the need of Nigerians at home and abroad. Mr. Herve Chomel, the vice president, MoneyGram Africa foresees rapid market expansion in Nigeria as a result of MoneyGram’s partnership with Diamond Bank.
