2 Days to Close! Develop a Relevant MSME Payroll Solution for FCMB
Following Passion Incubator’s partnership with the Swedish Embassy to launch Collaborate, a platform that allows corporates present their biggest challenges for tech-enabled ventures to solve, Nigeria fintech ventures are called to apply to develop a payroll management solution for SMEs to be implemented by FCMB.
Most SMEs aren’t structured and have poor record keeping practices including payroll management. Despite this obvious fact, the First City Monument Bank (FCMB), one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions in Nigeria has observed that SMEs are now showing readiness to comply with operational standards especially for the purposes of strengthening their banking relationships and accessing bank financing & other government-led capital assistance programs.
Their staff are also better educated and want to see things like employment letters, pay-slips, pension deductions etc. However, the current process of salaries payment is neither convenient nor does it help SMEs keep a history of payments. It isn’t also capable of managing the complications of statutory deductions, payment processing and pay-slip printing and archival. To help solve these issues, FCMB is seeking an innovative payroll management solution for SMEs and MSMEs.
