She said that based on eligibility customers could access loans from N500,000 to N3,000,000.

Ani-Mumuney said that FirstGem launched in 2016 had been impactful in driving financial inclusion, influencing women’s empowerment through gender-advancement programmes, financial literacy, wealth management and building an investment portfolio.

According to her, FirstGem is designed specifically to meet the needs of the female gender, aged 18 years and above.

She also said that the loan was targeted at a broad spectrum of women, working professionals, entrepreneurs or market women through an array of benefits such as free business advisory services.
