PalmPay, a leading payment platform focused on Africa, is excited to celebrate its fifth anniversary in the Nigerian market. Since its launch, PalmPay has reached significant milestones in promoting financial inclusion and strengthening Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.
As part of the celebrations, PalmPay expressed its gratitude to the vast network of users and merchants whose trust and commitment have contributed to the company’s success. “Our achievements over the past five years are a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team and partners,” stated Chika Nwosu, Managing Director of PalmPay Nigeria. “We remain devoted to providing seamless, secure, and innovative financial services that meet our customers’ needs.”
Since its entry into Nigeria, PalmPay has made notable advancements in the fintech sector, promoting financial inclusion through its accessible and reliable payment solutions.

At the heart of PalmPay’s mission is the goal of simplifying financial services, ensuring they are faster, more secure, and inclusive for all users. This commitment has allowed the platform to expand its user base to over 35 million, a substantial increase from the 25 million users reported last year. Additionally, PalmPay supports a network of 1 million mobile merchants and agents benefiting from its robust ecosystem.
PalmPay’s unwavering focus on innovation has led to a wide array of financial products available on its platform, ranging from money transfers and bill payments to credit services and savings options. The platform continues to empower millions of Nigerians, enhancing the country’s digital financial landscape and promoting economic vitality across Africa.
Looking forward, PalmPay aims to deepen its impact on Africa’s digital economy. By leveraging its in-depth understanding of local financial technology needs and collaborating with regulatory bodies, the company is dedicated to enhancing security measures, including live detection and AI-driven fraud monitoring.
“As we continue to innovate, PalmPay will remain at the forefront of fintech in Nigeria,” added Nwosu. “We will continue to prioritize user security, privacy, and financial literacy, ensuring an exceptional experience for our users.”
