Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has launched its new 737 App, a mobile banking platform designed to meet the evolving financial needs and digital lifestyles of young Nigerians.
The bank announced the launch on Wednesday, describing the application as part of its commitment to developing financial solutions that reflect how younger customers live, work, spend and save.
The 737 App introduces several features aimed at making everyday banking easier, faster and more accessible through mobile devices.
One of its standout features allows customers to use their registered phone numbers as account numbers, eliminating the need to memorise or share traditional bank account numbers.
The application also provides customers with a free virtual Naira Mastercard for online transactions on international platforms, including Amazon, Netflix, Spotify and AliExpress.
Another feature, Scan to Pay, allows users to initiate transfers by scanning payment details rather than manually entering account numbers, helping to simplify transactions.
GTBank said the application also includes savings tools to help customers plan towards their financial goals, alongside access to instant loans.
Users can equally purchase airtime and mobile data, as well as pay utility bills directly through the platform.
Miriam Olusanya Explains GTBank’s Youth-Focused Strategy
Commenting on the launch, GTBank’s Managing Director, Mrs Miriam Olusanya, said the bank recognised the changing relationship younger generations have with money and financial services.
“We recognise that younger generations have an evolving relationship with money and financial services. They are technology-driven, digitally connected and increasingly intentional about how they spend, save and pursue their ambitions.
“Our responsibility is to understand these changing behaviours and translate them into financial solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles. The 737 App reflects this commitment, bringing together the convenience, speed and accessibility they expect, while providing the tools to support their financial aspirations and plan for the future,” she said.
Olusanya added that the launch reflected the wider group’s commitment to developing innovative financial products and opportunities for younger customers.
She noted that GTBank had continued to introduce solutions aimed at making financial services more accessible, relevant and rewarding for young people.
How to Download the GTBank 737 App
The 737 App is available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
According to the bank, both new and existing customers can complete the digital onboarding process to access the application.
The launch builds on GTBank’s existing youth-focused initiative, GTCrea8, which offers young people free banking services.
The bank said its approach to youth banking goes beyond providing access to financial services, focusing instead on developing products that align with the everyday experiences and financial ambitions of younger Nigerians.
