FirstBank, Globacom and Interswitch launch GloFirst

Nigeria’s foremost bank, First Bank of Nigeria Plc and telecommunication giant, Globacom, have in conjunction with the country’s leading switching company, Interswitch, introduced an innovative card product called GloFirst, in Lagos on September 7, 2006. GloFirst is a pre-paid debit card which allows users who do not have bank accounts to perform electronic transactions like bank account holders and debit card users via the Glo Mobile network. This is the first time non-bank account holders will be able to use a payment card.
