Davido, the Nigerian American singer, has joined Wema Bank as Brand Ambassador for its digital bank, ALAT By Wema. The bank formalised the partnership at a ceremony on Friday, December 3 when the musician whose latest song is Champion Sound ft Focalistic, signed the dotted lines.
A few weeks ago, Davido raised N200 million when he posted his ALAT account before his 29th birthday and asked industry friends to donate.

He added that Davido’s announcement as their Brand Ambassador affirms the bank’s strategic repositioning efforts and its youth-centric focus.
“We welcome you warmly to our great family, the home of innovators and enterprising people who meet our customer’s needs with innovative products and excellent services that fit their lifestyles and empower their aspirations. You are set for a good time with us, and we assure you this relationship would be mutually beneficial,” Adebise said.
