If you know your way around a busy shop and you can talk to people without sounding like a brochure, PalmPay’s In-Shop Sales Agent role is worth a look. It is a ground-level sales job inside the fintech that a lot of Nigerians already use for transfers and bill payments, so you are selling something people recognise.
What the job actually is
You are stationed in or around a partner retail outlet, and your job is to get customers signed up and active on PalmPay. That means explaining how the app works, helping people open and fund accounts, and pushing the products the shop supports, from transfers to POS services. It is face-to-face work. Quiet, indoor-only types usually do not enjoy it.
What PalmPay tends to look for
- At least an SSCE; an OND or NCE is a plus but not always required.
- Real sales or customer-facing experience, even informal market or shop experience counts.
- A working smartphone and comfort using apps.
- Someone based in, or willing to work in, the advertised location.
Pay for field roles like this is often a base plus commission, so your earnings move with how active your sign-ups are. Ask about the structure during the interview rather than assuming.
How to apply
Applications go through PalmPay’s official hiring page: palmpaylimited.applytojob.com. Open the current openings, find the In-Shop Sales Agent listing for your state, and apply with an updated CV. If the exact role is not showing, it has likely been filled for now, so check back or set up an alert.
Before you apply, one thing
PalmPay does not charge anyone to apply, interview, or get hired. If a “recruiter” asks for money for a uniform, a POS device, or a training slot, that is a scam. We break down the common tricks in our guide to fake recruitment scams in Nigeria, and it is worth five minutes before you send a kobo to anyone.
If field sales is not quite your thing, you might prefer a structured graduate route like the UBA nationwide recruitment.
How to do well if you get the role
Field sales rewards consistency more than talk. The agents who earn well show up daily, learn the app inside out so they can answer any question on the spot, and treat every customer in the shop as a possible sign-up without being a nuisance. Keep your own simple record of who you signed up and who is actually using the app, because active users, not merely downloads, are usually what count toward your targets and commission. Dress neatly and be approachable, since people trust an agent who looks the part.
What to put on your CV
Keep it to one page and lead with anything customer-facing. Market experience, shop work, phone-selling, even helping run a family business all count here. Mention that you own a working smartphone and are comfortable with apps, and state clearly the state and area you can work in, since these roles are tied to specific locations.
A few common questions
Do I need a degree? No. An SSCE is usually enough, and an OND or NCE is a bonus rather than a requirement.
How is the pay structured? Field roles like this often combine a base with commission, so your earnings rise with your active sign-ups. Confirm the exact structure at the interview.
Can I apply from any state? You apply for the listing that matches your location. If your area is not listed, check back later as new openings are added.
