Held at the Zone Tech Park, Gbagada Lagos, a hall chosen to make provision for a larger audience.TGA team attended the event and we did a report of the gathering. 


Within the short space of three-month when its mobile application PesaPap was launched, Kenyan Family Bank has surpassed the Ksh500 million mark in loans disbursed, to both its customers and non-customers. The mobile application has also recorded an average of 50,000 transactions per month between August and November 2018.
