FinTechs will continue to exist in Nigeria
Ecosystem
orchestrators
(Fintech 3.0)
Mid-sized
niche players
(Fintech 2.0)
B2B enablers
(Fintech 1.0)
Description
Large, deeply funded players, operating as a
platform/superapp that acts as a gateway for customers to a
wide range of services beyond financial services (e.g.
transportation)
■ These type of players could also be 'TechFin'- technology
companies with existing customer bases that offer financial
services as an add-on offering
■Longer tail of medium sized businesses who are focused on
executing on individual verticals (e.g. payments, savings) or
geographies (e.g. Northern Nigeria) or segment (e.g. SMEs)
Experience in other markets suggest, these type of players
thrive in their domain of expertise, solve distinctly local
problems and are often acquisition targets for the larger
players
FinTech focused on enabling banks, telcos, corporates or
other FinTech to improve their offering
■ Could start out as B2B or have pivoted from a B2C model
with a great product but limited traction and challenging
