Nigeria’s leading and innovative retail bank, the First Bank, has dissociated itself from the list of banks patronized by the new rave payment platform Azimo.
The bank, in a statement circulated to all its customers urged all to be weary of such platforms that are not certified or recognised by the nation’s regulator- Central Bank of Nigeria.
The statement reads: “We disclaim the listing of FirstBank as one of the receiving or paying Banks on Azimo.com by Azimo Limited, offering Global Money Transfer Services.
“FirstBank has no affiliation with Azimo and hereby publicly disassociates itself from it.
“Azimo is not a registered Money Transfer Service with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as such, not licensed in Nigeria.”
FirstBank warned that anyone transacting any business with them is doing so at his/her peril.
