Over time, it has grown into Nigeria’s pre-eminent business-banking platform, now serving over 10 million active business and personal banking customers and processing more than US$250 billion in digital payments annually.
Moniepoint asserts that it is the first African fintech to reach “unicorn” status while already operating profitably at scale.

He stressed that delivering innovation hand-in-hand with commercial profitability is rare — and Moniepoint has achieved it.
LeapFrog partner Karima Ola added that small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs), which dominate African economies but often lack formal banking access, are exactly the constituency Moniepoint empowers through its digital platform.
