Founders & story · from PalmPay’s own dossier

PalmPay launched in 2019 as a mobile payments wallet for Nigeria, backed by Transsion (Tecno phones) and NetEase. Over six years it evolved into a full-stack digital neobank across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, with expansion into Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the UK. The company is now diversifying beyond P2P transfers and bill payments into embedded insurance (AXA Mansard), credit (Flexi Cash loans), Verve-branded debit cards, and merchant services — positioning itself as one of Nigeria's 'big four' fintechs alongside Moniepoint, Kuda, and Opay.
