In today’s world, financial literacy has become an essential life skill, particularly for the younger generation. Recognising this need, Wema Bank—Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT—proudly introduces the ALAT XPLORE App, Nigeria’s first licensed banking app specifically designed for teenagers aged 13 to 17.
The ALAT Xplore App empowers young individuals to take control of their finances while acquiring vital money management skills. ALAT XPLORE is not just another banking app; it is a comprehensive financial tool that seamlessly combines education, engagement, and empowerment for teenagers’ financial success. With a user-friendly interface and interactive features, the ALAT Xplore app provides teenagers with a unique opportunity to learn about banking, saving, and spending in a safe and controlled environment, as they journey towards the realities of adulthood.
The App encourages teens to explore intelligently, providing seamless navigation across its various functionalities and offering teens the chance to customise the App based on their preferences and request one of three unique debit card designs. The ALAT Xplore Cards are issued in the teenager’s name, fostering a sense of ownership, pride and independence that simultaneously instills a sense of responsibility in them as they learn to manage their spending.

One of the standout functionalities of the ALAT XPLORE App is the goal-setting feature. Teens can set savings goals on the App—whether it’s saving for a new gadget, planning a fun outing, or even making a charitable donation. They can track their progress, seamlessly on the App, making the saving process exciting and rewarding for them.
To ensure financial security for the teenagers, the ALAT Xplore App works hand in hand with the ALAT App, allowing parents to guide their children in making informed financial decisions. Teens can easily request money from their parents or guardians in a few clicks on the App, while parents grant the requests and can track their teens’ expenses on the ALAT Xplore App, via the ALAT App. This not only promotes healthy conversations regarding budgeting and financial goals, but also ensures that teenagers can explore financial opportunities with maximum security.
Here’s how the ALAT Xplore App works:
- The Parent or guardian opens an ALAT App Account for their teenager on the ALAT app.
- The teenager downloads the ALAT Xplore App, fills in the required information and sends a link to the parent/guardian requesting permission to use the ALAT Xplore App.
- The parent/guardian grants the permission via the ALAT App.
- Once approved, the teenager can login at anytime, request an ALAT Xplore Debit Card, set up Savings Goals and explore all the unique features on the App, on their phone.
As the first licensed banking app for teenagers in Nigeria, the ALAT XPLORE App powered by Wema Bank is set to revolutionise how teenagers approach money management towards building more financially responsible adults.
The ALAT Xplore App officially launches on Saturday, October 26, 2024. However, teenagers can click here to download the ALAT Xplore App now on PlayStore or AppStore, to start exploring the innovative App.
