Market Growth Factors

The rise of digital payments and mobile money has transformed the financial services market in Nigeria due to a fast uptake of smartphones and a cashless policy by the national government. Mobile wallets, instant money transfers and point-of-sale systems represent the most common payment methods of day-to-day transactions in Nigeria. It helps close the divide concerning banking services for unserved and under-served segments, mainly in urban and semi-urban markets. Regulatory bodies further strengthen this trend as they push for interoperability and open banking, and fintech companies and banks collaborate to build mobile payment systems for a unified ecosystem.

Machine learning and analytic tools fundamentally let players in the lending and credit market use alternative sources of consumer data like mobile usage or transaction history. This helps them tailor loans and financial products to consumers. These consumers may be unbanked or underbanked. This has broad implications in regards to expanding access to capital for individuals and small businesses, as well as promoting entrepreneurship. AI can help to detect fraudulent activities and allow systems to automate when dealing with customer service issues, which builds consumer confidence within digital technology and enables fintech firms to thrive inside a competitive market.

There is rapidly increasing interest in blockchain and decentralized finance solutions to meet the demand for secure and transparent payment solutions, and cross-border remittances. While regulators are investigating, innovators see opportunities to improve the efficiency of domestic and cross-border payment systems for customary currencies. Regulatory developments for digital assets and virtual service providers are creating conditions for responsible growth, new investment in and experimentation with new technologies that can support greater security and less intermediation, placing the business and financial services sector in a strong position for the future.
