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

- Navigating multiple regulators (CBN, NDIC, SEC, NFIU)
