PalmPay, a leading Africa-focused fintech platform, proudly celebrates its fourth anniversary with a series of significant milestones that highlight its commitment to financial inclusion in Nigeria
In just four years, PalmPay has witnessed explosive growth and now boasts 25 million users on its smartphone apps - tripling its user base from announcing 10 million users last year. This phenomenal growth has been fueled by PalmPay's innovative services and unwavering commitment to bridging the financial divide.
A cornerstone of PalmPay's strategy is its expansive network of 1.1 million businesses, including 500,000 agents and 600,000 merchants, who embrace PalmPay's POS or Pay With Transfer services.
These dedicated agents have further extended PalmPay's reach across the entire breadth of Nigeria, serving millions of additional consumers with essential financial services. In total, 40 million consumers, or one in five Nigerians, are now using the PalmPay platform via its apps, agents and merchants for money transfers, bill payments and savings.
"This remarkable achievement firmly establishes PalmPay as a trusted and reliable platform for conducting a wide range of financial transactions," commented Chika Nwosu, managing director of PalmPay Nigeria.
"With our achievements, we fully embody our tagline - Finance That Fits Your Life. As we move forward, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and are committed to fostering a future where financial services are accessible to all."
