Our Story: How we Changed Payments in Nigeria

We revolutionized payments. 

Back in 2019, we discovered a critical challenge in the Nigerian payment network. Bank transfers were common for individuals but too slow and unreliable for businesses to use on a large scale. 

We saw a better way. We partnered with Providus bank to devise a solution to that, which led us to engineer the concept of Virtual accounts for instant online payments.


Monnify was born to bring this innovation to life. We became the first payment gateway in Nigeria to offer Virtual account services, forever changing how businesses collect money.
