The Future of Fintech Licensing in Nigeria: What Startups Need to Know

Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem is booming, with startups driving innovation in payments, lending, and digital banking. But behind every successful fintech lies a critical foundation—licensing and regulatory approval. 🔑 Why Licensing Matters Licences such as MMO, PSSP, PTSP, PSB, and IMTO are more than regulatory requirements; they are trust signals to customers, investors, and partners. Without proper licensing, fintechs risk penalties, reputational damage, and limited growth opportunities. 🚀 Common Challenges Startups Face
  • Complex documentation requirements
  • Long approval timelines
  • Navigating multiple regulators (CBN, NDIC, SEC, NFIU)
  • Aligning business models with licence categories
