Nigeria’s OPay Partners with MTN to Launch Mobile Business Solutions for SMEs

April 20, 2021

3 minutes read

Nigerian fintech company OPay announced today a strategic partnership with MTN, one of Africa’s leading telecommunications providers, to deliver mobile business solutions tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This collaboration aims to provide accessible digital tools to help SMEs enhance productivity, manage inventory, and facilitate cashless transactions, driving economic growth and financial inclusion across Nigeria.

Through this partnership, OPay and MTN are set to launch an integrated business platform that provides SMEs with affordable and scalable solutions for daily operations. The initiative targets businesses in Nigeria’s vast SME sector, which forms a significant part of the economy but often lacks access to efficient business management tools and digital payment systems.

The OPay-MTN platform will offer SMEs a range of digital solutions, including cashless payment processing, inventory management, customer analytics, and marketing tools, all available on mobile devices. This platform aims to simplify how SMEs manage their finances, make payments, and monitor business performance in real-time. By leveraging MTN’s extensive network and OPay’s fintech expertise, the solution will be available even to businesses in remote areas.

The partnership also includes competitive pricing and data packages, specifically designed to support SMEs with limited budgets. MTN’s expansive mobile network will ensure connectivity and ease of access to these digital tools, allowing SMEs to efficiently run their businesses from any location in Nigeria.

As Nigeria pushes towards a cashless economy, the OPay-MTN partnership aims to foster greater adoption of mobile payments among SMEs. By facilitating mobile money solutions, the platform will empower small businesses to conduct transactions with minimal reliance on physical cash. OPay’s digital payment infrastructure, combined with MTN’s reach, positions the platform as a powerful tool for advancing financial inclusion in Nigeria.

Through this collaboration, SMEs can connect with a larger customer base, allowing them to expand their reach and increase revenue. MTN’s mobile network ensures that these services are accessible to SMEs in both urban and rural areas, bridging the digital divide and enabling businesses to thrive.

The OPay and MTN partnership reflects a shared commitment to promoting entrepreneurship and enhancing Nigeria’s digital economy. Both companies have expressed their intention to continually update the platform with new features that respond to evolving market demands. With more SMEs now able to adopt digital solutions, this initiative represents a meaningful step towards strengthening Nigeria’s small business ecosystem.

This partnership not only highlights the potential for digital transformation in Nigeria but also demonstrates OPay and MTN’s role in supporting sustainable economic development through technology.
