The Consumer Digital Bank of the Year 2022 went to Sofri, and the Principal Finance Firm of the Year 2022 went to DLM Capital Group.
A division of DLM Capital Group called Links MFB powers the financial platform known as Sofri. The honors were received amid fierce competition from other deserving applicants.
“It is indeed an honor to get this award from such a distinguished authority as BusinessDay,” he said, citing other recognitions that Sofri has previously received from countries including Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and Ghana.
This demonstrates the breadth and depth of our works’ influence. We are dedicated to providing our customers with the best services, and we won’t compromise,” he continued.
According to the new plan, among others who can contribute to their pension are farmers, artisans, traders, accountants, architects, and celebrities. Responses have been really positive, and we intend to keep and increase the momentum, he said.
“This is only one of our initiatives; we will supplement it with outreach to those we haven’t reached, media awareness campaigns, and engagement with union leaders and associations,” Ahmed said.
In support of him, Tunde Alayande, Head of PenCom’s South-West Zonal Office in Lagos, stated that Lagosians are supporting the initiative and that the commission will create an atmosphere that will enable pension fund administrators (PFAs) and participants to prosper together.
