Habari, Nigeria’s Largest Platform for
Music, Shopping, Lifestyle Content and More, Goes Live
Leading
African financial institution, Guaranty Trust Bank plc, has announced the
launch of Habari, Nigeria’s largest platform for music, shopping, lifestyle
content and more. Unveiled on Friday, November 23, 2018 at a special event
attended by renowned personalities in the entertainment, media and technology
sectors, Habari offers users direct access to the largest catalogue of local
and foreign music online, a seamless shopping experience and an exciting way to
connect with friends, amongst other features.
Built
around the everyday lives of customers, Habari is the first mobile platform in
Nigeria created by a financial institution that focuses on enabling people’s
needs and lifestyles rather than providing a limited bouquet of regular banking
products. The mobile application is open and free for all to download, does not
require mobile banking details and offers a wide range of services, all of
which are accessible to anyone regardless of where they choose to bank. Habari
is also very simple to use and is designed with a clean user interface as well
as a seamless navigation experience that ensures everything, from the music to
listen to, to the bills to pay, are just two clicks away.
Among
the exciting services available on Habari are its catalogue of local and
foreign music, the largest ever in Nigeria, carefully curated videos that range
from short engaging self-help kits to captivating full-length movies, and books
that cut across all literary genres. Habari also offers an end-to-end shopping
experience that allows users buy goods and services directly from over 10,000
small businesses. On Habari users can also shake their phones to find and connect
with friends, split bills, transfer and receive funds as well as pay for
utilities, subscriptions and other services.
Commenting
on the launch of Habari, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of
Guaranty Trust Bank plc, Mr Segun Agbaje, said; “By reimagining the role of
banking and driving innovation in how we serve customers, we have built a
platform that is less about us as bank and more about our customers and
everything they need to enable their lifestyle.”
He
further stated that “Habari is not a mobile banking application; it is the
start of our journey towards building a platform that connects our customers to
everything that they need, and which continues to evolve with their lifestyle.
We are excited about this journey and we are confident that our customers will
see in Habari a simple, smart and exciting digital experience that adds value
to their lives, every day.”
