According to the PFA, the digital platform, a chatbot named, ‘Nafi’ can be leveraged by customers for real-time messaging and response to check account balance even on WhatsApp, as well as make general inquiries on their Retirement Savings Account (RSA).

The PFA said this was part of its commitment to creating unwavering and enhanced customer service.

Speaking at the launch, Executive Director, Operations, Afolabi Folayan, said the initiative was driven by the vision to continue to explore ways to improve customers’ experience throughout their pension journey and interactions.

He said with Nafi, customers would have the support they require on their palms right from the opening of their RSAs, to enjoy pleasant retirement life.

d would be responded to in real-time.

Meanwhile, he said the easy accessibility of Nafi would help Sigma to build a stable relationship with customers without them having to seek out physical channels.

Sigma Pensions has also provided the ability for customers to complete their RSA registration and the mandated bio-data recapture online via its website.

The client would immediately receive confirmation of completion of the process with the newly registered RSA or notice of any missing documentation or incomplete registration, he said.
