ALAT by Wema Set for Major Upgrade in 2026

Wema Bank has concluded plans to launch an upgraded version of ALAT, scheduled for January 2026. Referred to as ALAT: The Evolution, this latest iteration promises to redefine the future of digital banking and set new standards for the industry.

With ALAT: The Evolution, Wema Bank is pushing boundaries further than ever before. It embodies a thoughtful progression of everything users already love about ALAT; redesigned to be more intuitive, more responsive, and more personalised. From faster interactions and a smarter understanding of user behaviour to the introduction of SAW (Smart ALAT by Wema, an AI assistant embedded within the ALAT app), the upgraded ALAT will showcase how far digital banking has advanced—and how much further it can go through deliberate innovation.

When ALAT by Wema was first launched in 2017, it made history as Africa’s first fully digital bank, transforming how millions of people viewed and experienced banking. With the upcoming upgrade, Wema Bank reaffirms its position as the most innovative bank in the industry.
