To ensure financial security, the ALAT XPLORE App works in tandem with the ALAT App, enabling parents to monitor their teens’ expenses and grant requests for money. Here’s how it works:

Parent/guardian opens an ALAT App Account for their teenager.
Teenager downloads the ALAT XPLORE App, fills in the required information, and requests permission.
Parent/guardian grants permission via the ALAT App.
Teenager can now log in, request an ALAT XPLORE Debit Card, set savings goals, and explore the app’s features.

The ALAT XPLORE App is set to officially launch on October 26, 2024, but teenagers can get a head start by downloading it now from the Play Store or App Store.

With this innovative initiative, Wema Bank is not only providing a banking solution but also fostering a generation of financially savvy young adults ready to take charge of their financial futures. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for your teen to learn and grow in a secure environment!
