A multi-talented recording live performing artist, Mr Laolu Gbenjo, has promised to collaborate with Heritage Bank for the promotion of the lender’s digital product, Ynspyre.
Ynspyre was designed by the financial institution to help cater and deepen support for professionals and amateurs for the creative and entertainment industry’s growth.
It was created to train, nurture and arm young employees with the right skills needed to fast-track development and enable talents to flourish.
At the Concert for Life Gratitude celebration held recently, Mr Gbenjo said he was willing to use his platform, Xplo-Sound, to promote Ynspyre because of his belief in the effectiveness of the product.
“I am aware Heritage Bank has a product for the creative industry called Ynspyre. I am happy to work with Heritage Bank to promote this product so that the young talented Nigerian artist can access it,” he promised.
He added that besides the funding, the young artists need the Bank’s advisory Midas touch in areas like financial literacy and entertainment mentorship
While also speaking at the event, the Group Head of Inclusive Banking at Heritage Bank, Ms Titilayomi Babaoye, disclosed that the bank was happy to work with Mr Gbenjo to further expand its reach by connecting with more groups that align with its digital banking product vision.
Ms Babaoye said “as a forward-looking financial institution, its strength lays in the ability to spot and mould talents into great professionals.”
She said the aim of Heritage Bank, being at the forefront of empowering youth in the entertainment and other sectors, is to emancipate the latent entrepreneurial spirit in the teeming youths to unleash their contributions to the growth of the economy.
