VULTe, is a digital banking platform designed to enable customers to consummate every banking transaction –  from account opening, through requesting for certain categories of loans – to generating bank statements.

The over 40 million MSME operators in Nigeria could now use Vulte to access collateral-free loans for personal and business purposes; where eligible entrepreneurs and SME operators could apply and get up to N20 million in a space of 5 minutes without visiting the Bank in person.

 (haven won same award in 2022) in what the organisers described as the Bank’s expansive impact on MSME operators across Nigeria.

In the last nine months, Polaris Bank had committed billions in loans to expand operations of MSME operating in Nigeria.

Polaris Bank had in May 2022 launched a N1 billion fund for MSMEs in partnership with Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) in what the Bank explained was aimed at providing the much-needed funding to create wealth and empower entrepreneurs and players within the MSME space in Nigeria, starting with Lagos.

Prior to the launch of the N1 billion MSME Fund, Polaris Bank had committed, and indeed, continued to provide multi billion financing to MSME operators across sectors, health inclusive among other incentives, like moratorium on facilities granted to cushion businesses following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses.

Receiving the award on behalf of the Bank, Dele Adeyinka, Retail & Digital Banking Divisional Head, while expressing the Bank’s appreciation to BusinessDay for the recognition, dedicated the

awards to the Bank’s  customers and stakeholders for making VULTe what it is today and promised that “Polaris Bank will continue to impact MSME digitally through innovative banking products, affordable finance and creative services that add significant value for the greater good of all stakeholders’.
