Overview
OjirehPrime is a digital bank that offers more transparent and customer-focused banking services with access to loans, innovative savings product and free credit card delivered to your doorstep. We started as an e-commerce company in Nov 2016 from a faulty samsung tab whose battery lasted only 30mins. One Year later we realised that only 4% of payments were made using the debit card for fear of falling victim to card frauds. 96% of payments were made via direct fund transfers. To address this – in 2018, we launched Ojirehprime card which is a prepaid card that is not connected to your bank account and within two years, we grew organically over 40,000 users.
