He added that the scheme will further bring the benefits of technology and to bear on the quality of life and living.
Industry watchers are unanimous in agreeing that the adoption of Technology has gradually become the universal culture around the world and Africa and Nigeria especially should not be left out.

The scheme is targeted at salary earners whose accounts reside with Sterling Bank as well as (NYSC) Corps Members whose monthly allowances are domiciled with Sterling Bank.
According to Group Head Retail Loans, Kikelomo Kuponiyi , the programme will ease the process of owning Intel-powered laptops while relying on a stress-free monthly installmental payment process.
