He also said that with Internet of Things (IoT),
PaywithCapture will change the way banking activities are done in Nigeria for

illimitable answers.
Wigwe revealed that initially, when PaywithCapture was
launched it garnered some 1 million downloads within the first three months,
and pointed out that the bank’s current mantra centres on three core areas
namely security, privacy and data encryption.
Nowadays, he said, “Your phone is your power,” adding that
the era of “I don't have my purse or bag is over” just as he declared “With the
PaywithCapture, the opportunity is illimitable.”
He also explained that the latest version, PayWithCapture
5.0 comes with additional features that enable customers to transfer funds from
any bank account (one or more) to any bank account or phone number and email
addresses.
“PayWithCapture 5.0 has also expanded to the web for users
to experience the many benefits on larger screens,” he said, and also offers a
‘USSD’ (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) on a Global System for Mobile
(GSM) communication technology that is used to send text between mobile phone
