FCMB Launches N10m Travel Financing with 247 Travel

FCMB (First City Monument Bank) has introduced a new program called "Book Now, Fly Later" in collaboration with 247 Travel, allowing eligible customers to access up to N10 million for international flight tickets. The program is designed to help Nigerians manage travel costs related to business, education, healthcare, and tourism over a repayment period of nine months.

Yemisi Edun, Managing Director of FCMB, stated that the initiative aligns with the bank's strategy to drive inclusive growth and provide innovative financial solutions. Tunji Adeyemi, Managing Director of 247 Travel, emphasized that the program addresses the challenge of upfront airline ticket payments, offering customers the flexibility to secure flights immediately while spreading payments over time.

Opeyemi Makinwa, Group Head of Premium Banking at FCMB, noted that this partnership reflects the bank's commitment to delivering lifestyle-focused financial solutions. Customers can apply for the program through the 247 Travel website, where they can select flights and submit financing requests.
