Peace uko akpan

Please how much do I need to partner with access bank for POS agent and apart from the commission from depositing and rewarding how much will I receive as a monthly salary

Hello Peace,
Like the guide infers, you’ll need at least a working capital of N50k.

What you receive monthly strongly depends on your turnover.
This is why you’re advised to site your business in a moderately dense traffic location.

Hope that helps?
