Kia Motors Nigeria has moved to ease the burden of rising vehicle maintenance costs for motorists with the launch of a new partnership that gives customers a 10 per cent discount on servicing and genuine spare parts purchases.
The automotive giant announced a strategic collaboration with Bankit, one of Nigeria’s rapidly expanding fintech platforms, allowing Kia owners to enjoy the discount whenever payments are made through the Bankit app at participating Kia service centres nationwide.
The initiative comes at a time when many vehicle owners are seeking more affordable ways to maintain their cars without compromising on quality, making the offer a welcome relief for customers.
Under the arrangement, Kia owners can save on routine maintenance and genuine replacement parts while benefiting from a fast, secure and seamless digital payment experience.
Industry observers say the partnership highlights a growing convergence between the automotive and financial technology sectors as companies seek innovative ways to improve customer experience and loyalty.
Speaking on the development, Kia Nigeria’s Marketing Manager, Omolade Akinyode, said the programme reflects the company’s commitment to delivering value beyond the initial vehicle purchase.
“At Kia, our focus has always been on delivering exceptional value beyond the vehicle purchase. This partnership with Bankit allows us to further reward our customers by combining quality after-sales support with seamless and convenient digital payment solutions,” she said.
For more than 25 years, Kia Nigeria has remained one of the country’s leading automotive brands, building a reputation for quality vehicles, strong after-sales support and continuous innovation. The company has also invested significantly in local vehicle assembly and emerging mobility technologies.
Beyond conventional automobiles, Kia has positioned itself among the leading advocates of cleaner transportation solutions in Nigeria. Through investments in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles and Electric Vehicles (EVs), the company is supporting the nation’s drive toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility options.
The partnership with Bankit further demonstrates Kia’s willingness to embrace innovation outside the traditional automotive space. By leveraging Bankit’s digital banking platform, customers gain access to a payment solution designed to simplify transactions while making vehicle ownership more rewarding.
Bankit has quickly gained recognition within Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem for its secure, user-friendly and accessible digital banking services. The platform continues to expand its suite of financial solutions aimed at helping individuals and businesses manage payments more efficiently.
With the new offer now in effect, Kia customers across Nigeria can enjoy immediate savings simply by choosing Bankit as their preferred payment method whenever they service their vehicles or purchase genuine Kia spare parts.
The move reinforces Kia Nigeria’s long-standing customer-first philosophy and further strengthens its position as a brand committed to delivering innovation, affordability and value at every stage of the ownership journey.
