Nwosu was speaking at the 2023 Digital Nigeria Conference organised by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). At the event, PalmPay received the award of Excellence in the Fintech Category.
According to the PalmPay CEO, the company has since 2019 provided Nigerians with fast, seamless and secure financial transactions. The award therefore is a recognition of PalmPay’s efforts to support the government’s drive include millions of unbanked Nigerians economically by bridging the country’s financial inclusion gap.
“This drive has led us over the years to develop an impressive suite of financial products on our PalmPay platform, resulting in over 30 million users and 1.1 million businesses, including 600,000 merchants and 500,000 agents as part of our cashless payment ecosystem,” Nwosu said.
