Empowering SMEs Through Business Grants and Marketing Support

Through the Bankit Business Account, entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs can access business growth grants, marketing support, promotional opportunities, and strategic visibility designed to help Nigerian businesses expand, attract more customers, and achieve sustainable growth. Selected businesses will also benefit from digital marketing support, social media promotion, and co-branded campaigns aimed at increasing their market reach. The programme is structured to provide tangible resources that enable small businesses to thrive in a competitive environment.

Exclusive Discounts and Cashback for Bankit Cardholders

In addition to the SME grant programme, Bankit cardholders will enjoy exclusive discounts, cashback rewards, and special offers when they use their Bankit Verve Debit Card at a growing network of partner merchants nationwide. The rewards programme covers leading filling stations, restaurants, supermarkets, logistics companies, retail outlets, lifestyle brands, and other businesses, with several strategic partnerships scheduled to be unveiled in the coming weeks. This initiative reinforces Bankit's vision of delivering everyday value to customers beyond traditional banking by making every transaction more rewarding.
