The event marked the official launch of Fidelity Bank’s initiative to equip 100 growth-ready SMEs with ERPRev-enabled POS systems and business support tools—at no cost to the beneficiaries. Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director/CEO of Fidelity Bank Plc, represented by Mr Stanley Amuchie, Executive Director/Chief Operations and Information Officer, emphasised the bank’s commitment to SME development.

“At Fidelity Bank, we believe SMEs are not just the backbone of our economy—they are the architects of innovation, resilience, and inclusive growth,” she said. “Through the Fidelity SME Empowerment Program (FSEP), we are providing 100 entrepreneurs with the tools, training, and support they need to thrive in today’s digital economy.”

The initiative provides benefiting businesses with a range of tools and support, including a fully installed POS desktop system, ERPRev business software, a receipt printer and barcode scanner, inventory data input support, financial and bookkeeping training, branding and onboarding support, six months of post-installation monitoring, and a free Fidelity POS with instant settlement.

Mrs. Adaonah Kene-Uyawune, CEO of Manmark, Fidelity Bank’s strategic partner, noted that “this digital transformation initiative is a game changer. It replaces manual bookkeeping with a unified system that simplifies accounting, inventory, HR, and profitability tracking. These tools are not handouts—they are instruments for long-term business success.”

The programme features high-impact trainings, masterclasses, and networking opportunities designed to spark innovation, build partnerships, and unlock new markets. By empowering SMEs with digital tools and support, Fidelity Bank aims to streamline operations, improve transparency, and unlock new growth opportunities for these businesses
