9PSB Celebrates 4th Anniversary with Financial Literacy Campaign and Donation of 10,000 Books

To mark its 4th anniversary, 9 Payment Service Bank (9PSB), Nigeria's leading digital payment service provider, has distributed 10,000 branded exercise books to students across various regions in the country. Beneficiary schools include Crown Jewel College, Lagos; LEA Primary School, Abuja; Kano Capital School, Kano; and Shokwari Junior Secondary School, Maiduguri, Borno State.

The initiative, which featured financial literacy sessions alongside the donations, aims to empower students and their families by equipping them with essential educational tools and foundational knowledge for financial growth. This reflects 9PSB's dedication to driving financial inclusion and fostering social development in underserved communities.

As part of its broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, 9PSB’s effort underscores its mission to bridge the financial inclusion gap in Nigeria. By combining practical financial education with material support, the bank seeks to inspire success and improve educational outcomes for students in less privileged areas.

Speaking at the donation ceremony at Crown Jewel College in Lagos, Branka Mracajac, MD/CEO of 9PSB, expressed her pride in the initiative. “This is our way of adding value to the society. We are confident that this educative session with the students, as well as the books donated to them, will immensely improve their knowledge of finance, their money management skills and their overall ability to prepare for their future at an early age. As we mark our 4th year anniversary, we are committed to playing a role in the CBN’s mission to promote financial literacy and education in schools across the country”, she said.

 

She further emphasized that financial literacy is a cornerstone of the bank’s commitment to driving financial inclusion in Nigeria. “At 9PSB, we understand that financial literacy begins with education. We believe the books donated, and the sessions held, will play a pivotal role in the academic growth of the students and help pave the way for their future success. Our mission is not just to provide banking services but to empower Nigerians, especially youths with the tools and information they need to make informed financial decisions in today’s increasingly digital world,” she added.

The gesture by the bank was met with deep appreciation from the students and school authority. Mrs. Remilekun Segun Fadeyi, the Principal of Crown Jewel College, thanked 9PSB for its thoughtful donation. “On behalf of the school management and students, we are sincerely grateful for this generous contribution. These books will be invaluable in enhancing the learning experience of our students, and we are committed to ensuring they are put to good use. The literacy session held has also broadened their financial management skills and deepened their knowledge of money management”, she said.

This donation is part of 9PSB’s ongoing commitment to drive financial inclusion and education in Nigeria. The bank continues to promote a variety of community engagement programs designed to support education, social welfare and financial literacy in Nigeria.
