The platform provides a more personalized banking experience for users. The V mobile app categorizes spending according to the location of the transaction. It also offers unlimited and free interbank remittances to users.
VFD Microfinance acquired the license for V in 2015. It decided to fully transition into a digital bank with the digitization of its services after obtaining the license and working with third-party providers for a while.
Those using V will be able to earn from referrals. As long as the referred keeps using the account, the user will keep receiving bonuses. With V, a user can create his or her own bank account and become a sales agent. This referral program was introduced to support the average Nigerian youth.
