Headquartered in London, and with a presence in over four continents including Asia, Europe and South America, Unlimint’s entry into Nigeria comes at a critical time when the country is experiencing an increasing demand for faster and more secure payment solutions. 

Over the last few years, the fintech industry has experienced consistent growth, prompting companies to recognise the significance of providing diverse payment solutions to their clients. 

Unlimint is poised to leverage its expertise and experience in the global payments industry to deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the unique needs of the Nigerian market.

Commenting on this remarkable accomplishment, Trevor Goott, Director for Africa & India, expressed immense satisfaction with the expansion, citing the organization’s vision to be a key player in the region, and riding on the wave of the digital and technological innovations sweeping across the financial technology and payments sector within the African continent.
