A major highlight of the upgrade is the introduction of “SAW (Smart ALAT by Wema)”, an artificial intelligence-powered assistant integrated into the ALAT app. SAW is designed to understand user behaviour, provide intelligent support, and enhance overall customer interaction with the platform, reflecting the growing role of AI in modern banking.
From faster interactions to deeper personalisation, the upgraded ALAT demonstrates how digital banking continues to evolve when innovation is driven by purpose and customer needs. The bank noted that the new platform is not just an update, but a strategic reimagining of digital banking experiences in Nigeria and beyond.
ALAT by Wema first launched in 2017, making history as Africa’s first fully digital bank and transforming how millions of customers engage with financial services. Since its debut, the platform has remained at the forefront of digital banking, attracting users with its convenience, flexibility, and customer-centric approach.
With “ALAT: The Evolution”, Wema Bank is once again reaffirming its reputation as one of the most innovative institutions in the Nigerian banking sector, signalling its readiness to lead the next chapter of digital banking on the continent.
