About Us

PalmPay is a digital payment app that makes paying and withdrawing money easy. It offers low fees, fast transfers, and convenient payment options. In most cases, it's possible to withdraw money from PalmPay without any charges. 

PalmPay develops a secure, digital payment experience to promote financial inclusion and enhance consumer experiences. The company improves its users' digital payment experiences by offering financial account creation, money transfers, bill payments, and instant access to credit services. 

Our History

The app was first released in September 2018, according to information on Google Play. But a pilot phase was launched in July 2019 after the company secured a mobile money operator license from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). It officially became available to Nigerian users in November 2019.

The company raised $40 million in seed funding in November 2019. Tecno, a subsidiary of Chinese phone maker, Transsion Holdings, led the round. Two Asian behemoths, NetEase (China) and MediaTek (Taiwan) also participated in the round.

The PalmPay service is available in Nigeria and Ghana. It has plans to expand to two more African countries by the end of 2020.

In the tight Nigerian fintech market, PalmPay has an edge. It has the leadership, the network, investors, and the funding that could make it a success. It is spending heavily on marketing and is giving huge discounts as it tries to capture market share.
