There are quite a number of the digital bank (branchless and paperless) in Nigeria today, but Alat by Wema Bank is the first of its kind. This mobile platform allows you to get everything done from the comfort of your mobile phone.
ALAT was launched on May 2nd, 2017, by Wema Bank Plc, a Nigerian commercial bank. Wema Bank was designed to cater for the need of today’s (digital) customers who are in dire need of a bank that understands and suits their lifestyle with respect to value for time, money, and responsiveness.
With its unveiling, the bank solved the problem of exhausting queues in banking halls and ATMs, as well as the rigorous paperwork that customers had to face. Built with the core values of simplicity, reliability, and convenience, adoption of the digital bank has been on the rise by Nigerian Millennials.
During its first year, ALAT by Wema acquired more than 250,000 customers responsible for well over NGN 1.6bn ($4.48m) in general deposits. In 2018, the bank closed in the NGN 1bn ($2.78m) mark in terms of deposits into savings accounts. Source: Wikipedia.org.
ALAT by Wema was recognized as the ‘Best Mobile Banking App’ and ‘Best Digital Bank for 2017’ at the World Finance Digital Banking Awards. In 2018, it was also awarded ‘Best Digital Bank in Africa’ at the Asian Banker Awards. The digital bank has also received other series of awards including BusinessDay Digital Banking Platform of the Year and Excellence in Branchless Banking in the New Age Banking Awards. ref>Wema’s ALAT named Africa’s best digital banking app.
Today, Wema Bank has adopted ALAT by Wema as the fulcrum of its digital transformation. With the closing of its old Wema Mobile app, the bank has converged its banking services into an ALAT that has become a versatile, omnichannel platform. The convergence allows for the coexistence of digital and traditional banking platforms. Source: Wikipedia.org.

This is a really nice Digital platform from wema.
But is this for just people with the wema account
Yes, you most have ALAT account before you can benefit from the offer.
