Through the Fidelity SME Empowerment Program (FSEP), the bank will equip 100 growth-ready entrepreneurs with a comprehensive digital toolkit.

The toolkits includes: a POS desktop system, access to ERPRev software, receipt printer and barcode scanner.

Others include inventory and management tools; business training and support; free fidelity POS with branding and onboarding assistance.

Commenting on the initiative, Osita Ede, Divisional Head, Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, said studies had shown the exponential growth SMEs can achieve through digitalisation.

“As Nigeria’s leading SME partner, we are walking the talk by providing free digital toolkits to our customers.

“This aligns with our mission to help individuals grow, businesses thrive, and economies prosper,” he said.

He said Fidelity Bank’s dedication to SME development was reflected in its broader vision of fostering economic inclusivity and building a resilient business ecosystem nationwide.

During its World SME Day 2025 celebrations, the bank granted free access to its renowned SME Hub in Gbagada, Lagos, and hosted a special mentoring session for female entrepreneurs. (NAN)
