Nigeria’s Moniepoint, a key player in the fintech space, recently raised $110 million to expand its digital banking solutions across Africa.
With substantial backing from investors like Google, the funding pushes Moniepoint’s valuation past the $1 billion mark, affirming its position among Africa’s leading tech unicorns.
Established in 2015, Moniepoint began as a provider of payment infrastructure for financial institutions but has since diversified into personal banking services.
This funding will support the development of a more comprehensive platform, offering tools for payments, banking, currency exchange, credit, and business management.
As Africa’s most rapidly growing fintech market, Nigeria has provided fertile ground for Moniepoint, which processes over 800 million transactions monthly, with values exceeding $17 billion.
This growth underscores Moniepoint’s role in bridging financial access across the continent, positioning it as a critical solution for Africa’s digital economy expansion.
