The world’s leading financial publication confirmed Moniepoint’s accolade in its annual “Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies” survey, released yesterday. It is the second consecutive year Moniepoint has achieved both the fastest-growing fintech milestone and ranked in Africa’s top four fastest-growing companies overall.
Insightful research process
The survey was compiled by Statista, a leading research company renowned for its insight into African companies’ actual performance, in a rigorous screening process. In this survey, companies are ranked based on 2019-2022 data by their absolute growth rate of revenues and their compound annual growth rate- CAGR.
Moniepoint’s growth rates of 7,979% (absolute) and 332% (CAGR) ranked it ahead of hundreds of leading companies from diverse industries such as technology, telecoms, financial services, and healthcare.
Moniepoint has long been one of Africa’s largest business payments platforms, processing over $182 billion for customers in 2023.
Impact and expansion in 2023
Last year, the Company entered the personal banking market via its subsidiary Moniepoint Microfinance Bank, offering reliable banking services to millions of individuals across Nigeria. It also doubled its global headcount, growing to over 1,800 employees by the end of 2023.
This recognition highlights Moniepoint’s success as Africa’s leading fintech, driving financial inclusion by empowering underserved businesses and individuals to access the formal financial system, contributing to a key goal of the Nigerian government.
