PalmPay, one of Nigeria’s leading fintech platforms, has reaffirmed its commitment to driving financial inclusion and delivering cutting-edge digital payment solutions as it made a strong showing at the GITEX 2025 exhibition held at Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Speaking at the event, Hanson Olorunfemi, Head of Marketing and Communication at PalmPay Nigeria, described GITEX as one of the most significant technology gatherings in Africa, offering a platform for innovators, businesses, investors, and consumers to connect and explore opportunities.
“We see GITEX as one of the leading events across Africa. Previously, we have participated in editions held in Morocco and other countries, but being here in Nigeria presents a unique opportunity for us to meet with customers, stakeholders, investors, businesses, and even competitors. It’s about understanding what we are all doing and improving how we deliver value,” Olorunfemi stated.
During the first two days of the exhibition, PalmPay shared hundreds of debit cards with visitors, while also showcasing its diverse product portfolio. The company highlighted its consumer offerings, which include unlimited free transfers, savings products, and secure debit cards, as well as its business solutions, such as the U.S. Standard House service and its innovative payment gateway that enables merchants to seamlessly collect payments across Nigeria.
On PalmPay’s strategy for staying ahead of competitors, Olorunfemi emphasized the brand’s edge in delivering unmatched value to users.
“Nobody in Nigeria is offering unlimited free transfers in the market, and nobody matches the insurance rates we provide. We have more products than any other financial institution today, and we constantly listen to our customers’ feedback to improve. That’s how we ensure we always have the best products for Nigerians.”
He further stressed that PalmPay is expanding beyond Lagos to deepen its presence across all markets in Nigeria, bringing its digital financial solutions closer to more users nationwide.
The company’s booth at GITEX drew significant attention throughout the exhibition, as customers and stakeholders engaged with its team and provided direct feedback on their experiences with PalmPay’s services. According to Olorunfemi, the strong turnout underscored the need for the brand to strengthen its customer engagement strategies and expand visibility.
PalmPay also used the opportunity to announce its ongoing Hustle Fund campaign, which is running across its social media platforms and amplified through billboard advertising across Lagos. The fintech giant hinted at more aggressive marketing efforts in the coming weeks, ahead of its forthcoming anniversary celebrations.
PalmPay’s Growing Impact in Nigeria
Beyond the buzz of GITEX, PalmPay’s influence on Nigeria’s digital finance ecosystem continues to grow. The company has become a household name in mobile transactions, enabling millions of Nigerians to send and receive money instantly without transfer charges. Its savings products have provided customers with more secure ways of managing their funds, while its debit and virtual cards are expanding access to cashless payments nationwide.
On the business side, PalmPay has helped thousands of small and medium enterprises streamline their operations with affordable POS services and its newly launched payment gateway, which allows merchants to collect payments seamlessly both online and offline.
These innovations have not only boosted financial inclusion but also positioned PalmPay as a major driver of the Federal Government’s cashless policy. By combining customer-focused services with aggressive expansion, PalmPay is steadily shaping the future of digital banking in Nigeria.
