Alt Bank to Take Banking, Healthcare to Agege Streets with Launch of 6 AltBoxes
Kuni Tyessi in Abuja Residents of Agege are set to enjoy banking and primary healthcare services in one spot as Altbank unveils six integrated AltBoxes across the local government area
Altbank sets to bring banking and healthcare services to the streets of Agege, Nigeria, with the unveiling of six integrated AltBoxes on November 4, 2026. The pilot project, a collaboration between Altbank and Agege Local Government, aims to make essential services more accessible to residents, traders, and small business owners.
The first AltBox launch will take place at 11:00 a.m., attended by AltBank officials, council leaders, community stakeholders, and residents. Each AltBox will house a full banking service and a primary healthcare point, removing the need for residents to travel to separate locations for these basic needs. This marks the first phase of a broader plan to establish AltBoxes in all seven wards of Agege, ensuring equitable access to formal finance and healthcare.
Altbank's HEART strategy emphasizes health as a key component of community investment, alongside its mission to create wealth for all. The AltBox model, designed to tackle financial exclusion and primary healthcare gaps, is open for replication by other local and state governments seeking to address community needs through locally-driven infrastructure.
