The ambience, decoration, graduands, invited guests and sponsors – all was set for the 2023 graduating class of Karis School. The event to celebrate the graduating pupils was supported by KayVee Microfinance Bank, which specialises in fintech solutions for individuals and small businesses.
As a proud sponsor, Kayvee moved beyond the usual offerings of gift items to invest in the futures of the graduating pupils through the opening of savings accounts. Speaking on the partnership, Adetunji Rasaq Adeshina, Managing Director of Kayvee Microfinance Bank, said: “We are here to celebrate with the children today. As a microfinance bank, we want to partner with the future. The future starts with the kids; the future starts now. We want to catch them very young so that as they grow, they learn the value of saving.”
The relatively new partnership between Karis School and KayVee Microfinance Bank – just over six months – has yielded commendable outcomes. Ifeoma Nwajei-Odebo, Brand Development Manager of Karis School, expressing her satisfaction commented: “I am so excited to be here right now and see our children have an amazing time, and showcase their knowledge and skills that we have nurtured over the years. Kayvee Microfinance Bank is the bank that has the future of children at its heart. We thank them for partnering with us and bringing our vision to life to help ensure that we raise the next generation of leaders.”
Abiola Sanni, Group Head, Corporate Finance and Strategy of Bay Finance (Kayvee’s parent company), further commended the efforts of Kayvee: “What sets Kayvee apart is the speed and efficiency with which it attends to customers’ needs. Trust is at the centre of banking and is one of the most important things to offer, and the people at Kayvee are the most tested and trustworthy people.”
Since the current owners of Kayvee took over the business just over a year ago, the business has grown tremendously, with the size of the balance sheet growing within 12 months, highlighting its growing value in the sector and to its customers.
