In a move aimed at boosting financial confidence among everyday Nigerians, a leading bank has unveiled AlwaysOn by Sterling—a new feature on its OneBank platform that gives eligible users access to up to ₦1 million monthly, even when their account balances are low.
Launched on Workers' Day 2025, AlwaysOn is part of the bank's wider push to break financial barriers and support Nigerians with tools that offer greater control over their money.
According to Abubakar Suleiman, Chief Executive Officer, the feature is not a traditional loan product but a trust-based advance designed for customers who have consistently maintained active OneBank accounts.
"This is not just about funds. It's about freedom and dignity," Suleiman said. "We're backing our customers to act boldly when life demands it."

The bank described AlwaysOn as an invitation-only feature that allows users to make payments or settle bills without the delays often associated with conventional credit systems. The rollout follows other customer-focused initiatives such as Zero Transfer Fees—which saved Nigerians an estimated ₦13 billion in April—and a Free Bus Ride campaign during peak economic hardship.
Obinna Ukachukwu, Growth Executive for Retail and Consumer Banking, added: "We're not just watching from the sidelines. We're giving Nigerians the power to move faster and do more."
The new feature underscores the bank's evolving approach to customer empowerment and its mission to build a more inclusive, responsive financial ecosystem.
