Moniepoint gets national licence
The upgrade, which applies to Moniepoint MFB, Opay, Kuda Bank, Palmpay, and Paga, allows these firms to operate nationwide after meeting regulatory requirements, Vanguard reports.
The development was confirmed by Yemi Solaja, Director of the Other Financial Institutions Supervision Department, during the annual Committee of Heads of Banks’ Operations conference in Lagos.
The Solaja said:"
“Institutions like Moniepoint MFB, Opay, Kuda Bank, and others have now been upgraded. In practice, their operations are already nationwide."
With national licences, fintech firms are required to meet higher capital thresholds, such as N5 billion for national microfinance banks, and maintain offices to manage customer disputes.

The upgrade also now means that they can now have physical offices in all states.
He stressed the importance of physical offices, noting that:
“Most of their customers operate in the informal sector. They need a clear point of contact if any issues arise.
As Moniepoint expands nationwide, the new hires are expected to play a critical role in driving digital financial services across Nigeria, enhancing access for millions of users, and supporting the country’s growing fintech ecosystem.
