Scope
- The growing preference for digital banking has prompted digital banks to launch operations in Nigeria. In June 2020, digital-only bank Sparkle launched its operations in the country after receiving an operating license from CBN. The bank offers several features, including savings accounts and debit cards. In August 2019, neobank Kuda Bank launched in Nigeria, while in December 2019 Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria launched a digital-only bank in the country. Similarly, in May 2020, Brass - a digital-only bank focused on SMEs - raised seed funding from Ventures Platform, helping it officially launch in Nigeria in July 2020.
- Contactless payments are gradually gaining traction in Nigeria, with major banks including First Bank of Nigeria and United Bank for Africa (UBA) Group now offering contactless cards. To capitalize on this trend, commercial banks such as Zenith Bank are offering contactless POS terminals to increase contactless card payment acceptance among merchants. Meanwhile, contactless payments are also being introduced in the transport sector. Sterling Bank offers the contactless transit card FarePay, allowing holders to make contactless payments to purchase tickets for the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit system.
- Commercial banks and credit card issuers in Nigeria are likely to face competition in the consumer lending space following the emergence of the online P2P lending model. In November 2017, P2P lender KiaKia launched an online P2P and direct lending platform. The company charges lower interest rates compared to traditional banks. It also allows borrowers to choose the exact loan tenure for short-term loans (between seven and 60 days), and only charges interest for the chosen tenure. As of October 2020 the company had provided loans worth NGN6.7m ($18,505.22).
