Dasamonie bets on an all-in-one banking model after crossing 1,000 users in first month

Nigeria’s crowded fintech market is witnessing another push beyond digital payments as Dasamonie says it has attracted more than 1,000 registered users within one month of its commercial launch, highlighting growing demand for platforms that combine banking and business services in a single application.

The milestone comes as competition among Nigerian fintech companies shifts from offering standalone payment services to building broader financial ecosystems that allow users to manage personal and business finances from one platform.

Dasamonie said its application gives customers access to personal and business banking, local and international money transfers, foreign currency services, savings products, merchant payment tools, point-of-sale (POS) services, BVN and NIN verification, and Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) business registration.

The company currently delivers its banking services through a partnership with a licensed Nigerian microfinance bank while it continues to strengthen its regulatory and compliance roadmap for future expansion.

Terry Edet, co-founder of Dasamonie, said reaching the first 1,000 users within one month reflects increasing demand for simple and accessible financial services.

“Our vision goes beyond payments. We are building an ecosystem where individuals and businesses can bank, grow, register their businesses, send and receive money locally and internationally, and access essential financial services from one trusted platform,” Edet said.

The company’s strategy reflects a broader trend in Nigeria’s fintech industry, where firms are increasingly competing on the breadth of services they offer rather than on payments alone. As digital finance matures, providers are seeking to become everyday financial platforms for consumers and small businesses by combining banking, payments, savings, business registration, identity verification and merchant services.

Dasamonie said its target customers include individuals, startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), entrepreneurs and underserved communities that often face barriers to accessing traditional financial services.

During its first month, the fintech said it focused on strengthening its technology infrastructure, improving customer experience, building an active user community and expanding access to digital financial services.

The company believes technology and strategic partnerships will play a key role in improving financial inclusion by making banking and business services easier to access across Nigeria.

Looking ahead, Dasamonie plans to introduce additional financial products, deepen partnerships, strengthen its compliance framework, expand its merchant and agent network, and accelerate customer acquisition nationwide.

Its long-term ambition is to build a pan-African financial technology ecosystem that provides secure and accessible financial infrastructure for millions of individuals and businesses, positioning itself among the next generation of fintech companies seeking to reshape digital banking across the continent.
