Firm unveils app to tackle financial, healthcare access
To mark its fifth anniversary, Nigerian fintech and health innovation company, BAS Group, has launched a new digital platform, ALLYCare, aimed at redefining access to affordable healthcare while promoting financial security for Nigerian families.
The new application, unveiled during the company’s anniversary celebration in Lagos, integrates health maintenance organisation (HMO) services with an innovative savings model that offers users up to 20 per cent annual returns.
Described by the company as a transformative solution, the platform targets two major challenges in Nigeria: lack of quality healthcare access and limited avenues for financial planning among households.
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Technological Officer of BAS Group, Victor Iromara, said the app is designed to help Nigerians simultaneously protect their health and grow their wealth.
“We are not just launching another app, we are introducing a new way for Nigerians to think about their health and wealth simultaneously. ALLYCare represents our commitment to solving real problems that affect millions of Nigerian families,” he said.
The platform provides direct access to more than 50 verified hospitals and medical facilities in Lagos and Abuja, helping to eliminate the common obstacles of long waiting times and administrative bottlenecks. It also features flexible plan options suitable for individuals and families, offering users seamless appointment booking, medical record tracking, and real-time monitoring of savings via a user-friendly mobile interface.
With the app, users can earn returns significantly higher than those offered by traditional banking products, while also enjoying comprehensive healthcare coverage. The dual-functionality of the app positions it as a practical solution for households forced to choose between saving for the future and meeting urgent medical needs.
The rollout currently focuses on Lagos and Abuja, with the company announcing plans to expand to other major cities across Nigeria later this year. The platform supports integration with all major banks and payment processors in the country, ensuring a wide reach and ease of transactions for users.
In response to public concerns around the safety of fintech platforms, BAS Group emphasised that ALLYCare is equipped with robust security protocols. These include bank-level encryption, secure payment processing, and strict regulatory compliance to guarantee transparency and trust in fund management.
