Obtain Loan Online in Nigeria With Alat App

You can now get quick loans online in Nigeria from Nigeria’s first fully digital bank, ALAT by Wema. This is perfect for days you’re short on cash (which can happen to almost anyone) and need a quick fix.

What is more interesting is the duration between time of loan request and approval. The digital bank claims that this will take only 10 minutes without any physical visit to the bank or collateral. You can simply request for loan online by making use of the Alat mobile app. The ALAT app also eliminates the usual paperwork involved in getting a loan as all necessary documents can be uploaded to the app.

Speaking on the emergence of ALAT Loans, Head of Commercials, ALAT, Bimbo Agbejule explained the importance of the feature for daily living.

“It’s almost impossible for one to go through life or business without the requirement of a loan, whether long or short term. This insight has given birth to ALAT Loans which we have tweaked to fit the average Nigerian, considering his daily needs ranging from payment of house rents or tuition fees to raising capital for a new brick and mortar store and daily emergencies”, she said.

Recently recognized globally at the Prestigious World Finance Digital Banking Awards as the “Best Digital Bank for 2017” and “Best Mobile banking App”, ALAT is properly positioned as a bank aware of the fast paced world of its customers and is continually devising means to solve everyday problems with technology.

Samsung Max App Lets You Take Control of Data Usage, Privacy and More

Samsung Electronics has introduced Samsung Max, a new and free Android application designed to promote mobile data savings and application privacy management, with data usage monitoring and enhanced Wi-Fi security.

Samsung Max is replacing the discontinued Opera Max – one of the largest mobile virtual private networks (VPNs) in the world – and now, its two key features are accessible to millions of more Samsung users.

With data saving modes or privacy modes activated, all your network traffic from your apps is compressed and encrypted by Samsung Max’s servers before it reaches your Android device.

The app works by scanning users’ phones and identifying which apps are using the most data. It’s also able to actively compress images, videos, music files, and webpages in apps and browsers to save on data quotas. There are also options to manage data permissions for specific apps and to block auto background data usage.

If you’re often using public Wi-Fi, the app’s privacy features include a useful tool that encrypts open, untrusted, and unknown hotspots with just one tap. There is also tracker blocking and a Domain Name System (DNS) masking service.

To support the most advanced and FREE data savings service, and the powerful Secure Wi-Fi and Privacy protection service, Samsung Max shows ads to keep the services free. There is an option to control your ad experience. You can choose to view ads inside the app or enable Samsung Max App premium mode, which grants you access to powerful app management features and unlimited usage of savings and privacy services.

Samsung Max will come pre-loaded on all Galaxy A and Galaxy J series smartphones in India, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam. Users will be able to download Samsung Max on other Samsung devices via Google Play or Galaxy Apps stores.

Samsung Max is only supposed to be available to Samsung devices, but if you want to install the app on a non-samsung device for whatever reason, you can download the Samsung Max APK over at APK Mirror. It’s still listed under Opera Max for now since the package name hasn’t changed, but you can tell Samsung Max apart from older Opera Max builds by the blue icon.

Your ALAT virtual dollar card converts naira from your ALAT account into dollars at the current bank rate, taking away the stress of changing naira to dollars and then depositing the foreign currency in a domiciliary account.

Like your familiar plastic debit card, you’ll get the usual details (card name, card number, an expiry date and a three-digit CVV number) and you can use these details to pay wherever dollar cards are accepted online. Your first virtual card is free, but you will be required to pay the standard monthly card maintenance fee.

NB : The virtual dollar feature is available on ALAT Version 2.4+

Adsense Auto Ads : Benefits, How To Place Code On Blogger, WordPress and View Reports

Google has officially unveiled Adsense Auto Ads; a system that uses machine learning to not only determine the types of ads people see on blogs, but how they’re placed. The AI technology will decide how many ads are appropriate for a page and where to put them.

If you are a blogger, Adsense Auto Ads will make smart placement and monetization decisions on your behalf, saving you time. Place one piece of code just once to all of your pages, and let Google take care of the rest.

Once you enable and place the Auto ads code on your blog, auto ads will now start working for you by analyzing your pages, finding potential ad placements, and showing new ads when they’re likely to perform well and provide a good user experience.

Benefits of Adsense Auto Ads

Some of the benefits of Auto ads include:

• Optimization: Using machine learning, Auto ads show ads only when they are likely to perform well and provide a good user experience.
• Revenue opportunities: Auto ads will identify any available ad space and place new ads there, potentially increasing your revenue.
• Easy to use: With Auto ads you only need to place the ad code on your pages once. When you’re ready to use new features and ad formats, simply turn them on and off with the flick of a switch — there’s no need to change the code again.

How To Get Started With Adsense Auto Ads

• Sign in to your AdSense account.
• In the left navigation panel, visit My ads and select Get Started.
• On the “Choose your global settings” page, select the ad formats that you’d like to show and click Save.

 

• On the next page, click Copy code.

 

• Paste the ad code between the < head > and </ head > tags of each page where you want to show Auto ads.

Auto ads will start to appear on your pages in about 10-20 minutes.

 

NB :

• All users that used Page-level ads are automatically migrated over to Auto ads without any need to add code to their pages again.
• If you’ve manually placed Adsense ads on your blog, there’s no need to remove them if you don’t want to. Auto ads will take into account all existing Google ads on your pages

How To Place Adsense Auto Ads Code On Blogger and WordPress Blogs

After you’ve generated the ad code for your Auto ads, you’ll need to place the code once on your blog. You should place your ad code in the <head> tag.

For Blogger/Blogspot blogs, navigate to “Theme” > “Edit HTML” and paste the Adsense auto ads code above the </head>

For WordPress, you can install “Insert Headers and Footers” plugin and paste the auto-ads code in Scripts in Header box.

How To View Earning Reports of Adsense Auto Ads

• Sign in to your AdSense account.
• In the left navigation panel, visit My ads and click on the graph icon as seen in the screenshot below:

I hope this helps.

If you’ve enabled Adsense  auto-ads on your blog, kindly share your experience.
