PayPassage, a digital transaction solutions provider offering affordable financial products and services is set to officially launch its financial services platform in Nigeria. The platform will offer digital financial solutions to help drive financial inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked in Nigeria.
Nigeria is one of the top three unbanked countries in the world, with 40 per cent of its population without bank accounts. Out of the 59 million unbanked adults, 73 per cent do not have the requisite documents to open a tier 3 bank account.
It is this financial landscape that necessitated the birth of PayPassage to provide customers a seamless, affordable, secure and fast payment experience across multiple channels with the launch of its financial services offerings.
