“The new development enables Sofri to scale faster and serve customers better,” Adebayo added.

Sofri also unveiled its Terminal Management System (TMS), a tool developed to monitor and optimise the performance of POS terminals. With the system, merchants and field agents can now enjoy greater uptime, quicker settlements, and better technical support.

“At Sofri, our impact goes beyond naira but in changed lives. We are embedding ESG principles into our lending and operational models from offering green financing options to supporting waste-to-wealth entrepreneurs and driving inclusive finance as part of Nigeria’s circular economy,” Adebayo said.

On the Corporate Internet Banking front, Frank Ayala, General Manager of Sofri, introduced the new platform as a powerful tool for business customers looking for more efficient financial management.

“Corporate Internet Banking offers customers a new and improved online experience. The relaunch includes enhanced functionality and a user-friendly interface designed to meet the diverse needs of businesses,” Ayala said.

He added that security remains a top priority. “As with any online banking platform, security is paramount, and the relaunch includes enhanced security measures to protect sensitive financial information,” he affirmed.

Sofri, which is currently operated by Links Microfinance Bank, also plans to transition to SofriTrust MFB, a rebranding move aimed at deepening its impact and innovation in the financial services sector.
