When it comes to digital, internet, mobile and best advanced bank in Nigeria, GTBank still rules as I see them as the financial institution for the Youth and SMEs. Their Mastercard is still being accepted for most online transactions involving local and foreign clients while some other banks struggles in that aspect. At least I still use my GTB card for facebook ads, paying for domain hosts, paying for goods and services online and so on. Though, sometimes I make use of their Dollar card which is also awesome because you don't have to worry about the unstable exchange rate when using it. The bank made business more simple by introducing the official GTBank app and the easy *737# shortcode but now, it has been taken to another level.
Guaranty Trust Bank has launched a new Internet banking app called GTWorld , an mobile application that brings all the transactions at your fingertips in a new science fiction style. The new platform is set to displace the former app because I see a lot of potentials with it especially the mesmerizing options of login patterns such as biometric (fingerprint and facial recognition), PIN, token and password options.

For those skeptical about the originality of the app especially with the suspicious email address of the developers, worry no more because before writing this, I contacted the bank and here is their reply "Hi,thank you for chatting with us. Please be informed that the GTWorld is an advanced option to our mobile banking app and has more features." So it's genuine, safe and official from GTBank.
