i-Invest hits over 70,000 downloads

By
Investment mobile application (App), which allows users to purchase Treasury Bills (T-Bills) directly from their smartphones has recorded over 70,000 downloads on Apple App Store, and Google Play Store in less than 10 months of its entry into the market, according to a statement in Lagos.
The App, known as i-Invest, was swiftly embraced by investors, who had been yearning for a fast and convenient means to access investment products in a secure manner using technology. Today, millions of customers are able to perform most of their banking transactions from the comfort of their homes.

Developed by Parthian Partners, a pan-African inter-brokerage services firm, in partnership with Sterling Bank Plc, the i-Invest App provides a level playing ground for investors regardless of status or category.

The developers said equal opportunities now exist for working-class or retiring people and pensioners as well as experienced and institutional investors to save money, and improve their money market portfolios through T-bills.

A 36 years old teacher, Mr. Remi Oduntan, who could not hide his excitement at the discovery of the i-Invest App last month, said: “I have been conducting most, if not all, of my banking transactions through the App that I downloaded on my android phone. The only reason why I still visit the banking hall occasionally is in respect of my investments in treasury bills.”

The i-Invest App, which is supported on both Android and iOS platforms aims to encourage users to build a savings and investment culture. It provides access to an array of T-bill investments that assists investors to match their investment maturities to their need.

In addition to the low risk profile of Treasury bill investments, the capacity of the i-Invest App to bring such opportunity to the mobile devices of everyone who is interested in it makes it quite attractive to potential investors. It also eliminates the entry barriers posed by exorbitant minimum investment amounts typically in millions which existed before the introduction of the platform. With the i-Invest App, anyone with a minimum of a N100,000 is free to invest in T-bills.

Once the i-Invest App is downloaded for free, the first step is to register using a valid identification number, BVN and a valid phone number. The app is available to every Nigerian that has a BVN number as well as a smart mobile device.Remarkably, the i-Invest app enjoys support at the highest levels and is currently under the purview of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In addition, all securities purchased on the platform is held in safe custody by a licensed securities custodian which in effect protects investments made by clients. Users are also able to know the exact state of affairs with their investments at all times. All that is needed is for the user to log in and view the details. The App interface is certainly user-friendly and self-explanatory.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
