Commenting on the bank’s intentions for women and businesses, Oreoluwa Sofola, Head of Brand at Eyowo, stated, "Women-owned businesses account for approximately 40% of the over 41 million small and medium-sized enterprises in Nigeria today. Despite their significant economic contribution, women and their businesses face significant funding, productivity, and growth challenges. We at Eyowo are aware of these and other issues that women face. This is why we are committed to providing support both directly and through partnerships like this one with Femme Africa."

The business categories eligible for the grants include fashion, beauty and creative/entertainment. The grants are also available to young and aspiring female entrepreneurs in any industry, who are yet to establish a business but have a business idea or plan.
Addressing the partnership, Founder Femme Africa, Ayomide Dokunmu said, “Femme Africa was created with the intent to educate, empower and entertain women. We've achieved this in just four years through a variety of verticals and projects. However, there is still much to be done, which is why we are thrilled to be partnering with Eyowo to award grants to five exceptional women in our community. Thank you to Eyowo for being committed to supporting women and our growth.”
