In today’s digital age, customers prefer seamless and reliable online payment methods. This can pose a significant challenge for businesses, startups, and fintechs that lack the capacity to obtain a banking license from CBN to address their customers' payment concerns. Unreliable payment providers, frequent downtimes, and high transaction fees can drive away potential customers to adopt the products of startups and fintechs alike. This is why integrating with a top payment provider in Nigeria like Bankly can make a world of difference for your business.
