The story

Mutual Trust MFBank is a Nigerian microfinance institution licensed by the CBN, focused on payroll loans (including IPPIS loans for federal civil servants), SME loans, microcredit, and deposit products. Its embedded finance footprint is minimal — it is a licensee/originator, not a fintech infrastructure provider.
