Blockbonds together with I&M Bank Rwanda Ltd proudly announces full product rollout of SPENN.
SPENN is a mobile banking app powered by I&M Bank Rwanda Ltd, covering both personal and business accounts.
All services through SPENN are cost-free.
By downloading the cost-free SPENN mobile banking app, anyone can access a SPENN bank account. Every user can perform cost-free money transfers, cost-free payments in stores, and cost-free cash-out and deposit at any I&M Bank Rwanda Ltd branch throughout Rwanda.
SPENN also offers a cost-free business solution, which is a free point-of-sale solution to anyone selling goods and services, by upgrading to a SPENN+ user.
Anyone who holds a smartphone can instantly register with SPENN. The registration only requires phone number, name and NIDA (National Identification Agency) number.
Mr Jens Glaso, CEO of Blockbonds and SPENN, is proud of being the first actor in digitalizing the national currency of Rwanda.
“We believe Rwanda will be an example on how an effective and structured decision-making process drastically can benefit a nation’s economy, and at the same time help people to take the first step out of the cash society,” Mr Glaso said.
“I&M Bank Rwanda Ltd is a proud pioneer in supporting and bringing Rwanda closer towards a cashless economy. We truly believe that SPENN will transform the way Rwanda currently transact, and increase efficiency and prosperity for the Rwandan population,” CEO of I&M Bank Rwanda Ltd, Mr Robin Bairstow said.
With a population of 12 million people, having fast and affordable internet access, Rwanda is a mature market, with anticipation of a high rate of adoption for the product SPENN.
