How to open alat by Wema bank
In recent times, the need for convenient banking services has been on the rise. This is especially important seeing as technology continues to advance and with it, our expectations for speedy and efficient financial transactions.
In line with this, Wema Bank has introduced ALAT, its digital banking platform, which allows customers to access banking services at their fingertips.
In this article, we will take you through the process of opening an ALAT account with Wema Bank.
First, you need to download the ALAT app on your smartphone from any app store for either Android or iOS depending on your device’s operating system.
Once successfully installed, open the app to begin the account opening process.
To do this, click on the “Open an Account” button on the home screen.
This will take you to the registration page where you are required to provide personal details such as your name, phone number, email address and BVN.
After inputting your personal details, the next step is to verify your identity. You will be required to take a clear picture of any valid ID of your choice (Driver’s License, International Passport, National ID, or Voters Card) alongside a clear selfie photograph.
Once the photos have been submitted, you may be required to answer some questions to verify your identity further.
This stage is crucial in ensuring that only genuine and credible individuals can use the ALAT platform for financial transactions.
Once your identity has been successfully verified, you will be required to create your ALAT account.
During this process, you will create a username, a password, and a four-digit PIN.
It is important to have a strong password that combines upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
You must also remember to keep these details secure to prevent unauthorized access to your account.
After creation, the final stage of setting up your ALAT account is to fund it. There are several options for funding your account such as bank transfer, USSD transfers, debit or credit card payment, and even cash deposits at any Wema bank branch. It is essential to note that each funding option has specific requirements and fees, so it is advisable to read through each option’s details before making any transaction.
Features of Alat by Wema
One of the brilliant features of ALAT is its ability to offer a range of unique services to customers.
These services include bill payments, airtime top-up for multiple networks such as MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile, the purchase of data bundles from the app, loan applications, and more.
ALAT also supports a feature called Goal Savings, which allows customers to set financial targets and automatically save towards achieving those goals over time.
Another critical feature of the ALAT platform is its security architecture.
It is important to mention that ALAT is verified by the Central Bank of Nigeria and is also PCI DSS certified, which is a global standard for processing payments securely.
This means that all financial transactions carried out on the ALAT platform are safe and secure.
