Providus Bank is a Nigerian commercial bank licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. It has positioned itself as a 'Future Forward' bank, with a strong push into Banking-as-a-Service infrastructure — exposing transfer, balance, statement, virtual account, wallet, and bill payment APIs to fintechs, MFBs, and enterprises. The bank was recognised as Embedded Finance / BaaS Champion at NEXUS 2025, reflecting its strategy to be the underlying bank rail for Nigeria's fintech ecosystem rather than just a retail commercial bank.
