Unlimint expands to Nigeria offering cutting-edge payment technology

London-based global fintech Unlimint, has announced the launch of its operations in Nigeria, after receiving its Payment Solution Service Provider (PSSP) License from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This milestone development authorises Unlimint to operate as a recognised payment service provider in the region, enabling the delivery of a wide range of payment services and methods that will help local businesses expand their reach to a local and global audience. 

Unlimint is an award-winning global all-in-one fintech offering advanced payment capabilities through an evolving financial interface to startups and businesses across the globe with 16 offices across five continents. The company’s entry into Nigeria comes at a critical time when the country is experiencing an increased demand for faster and more secure payment solutions. Unlimint is poised to leverage its expertise and experience in the global payments industry to deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the unique needs of the Nigerian market. In addition to this, companies based in the UK will be able to easily expand operations into Nigeria and allow local customers to complete transactions with a wide range of payment options.

According to Siegemedia, the fintech market is expected to grow and reach a value of over $37 billion USD (£29 billion) by 2026. A report by EY shows that in 2019, 64 percent of the global population used at least one fintech.
