PalmPay, a prominent full-service digital bank, has once again reinforced its commitment to revolutionizing the payment landscape in Nigeria by championing the adoption of contactless payment solutions. This was highlighted at the BusinessDay Future of Payment Conference, which focused on “Fintech Evolution: Gateway to Payments.”
During his opening remarks, Frank Aigbogun, Publisher of BusinessDay, underscored that the next phase of fintech innovation must not only prioritize speed, security, and simplicity but also trust, inclusion, and accessibility, ensuring that its impact reaches all corners of society.
PalmPay’s Role in Digital Payment Evolution
In the panel discussion on “The Next Wave of Digital Payments: Trends and Innovation,” Ifeanyi Uzoka, Senior Business Development Manager at PalmPay, shared insights on the rapid evolution of digital payments in Nigeria. He pointed out that while regulatory frameworks are evolving to support the growth of contactless payment systems, the country’s deep-rooted reliance on cash remains a significant challenge to widespread adoption.
“Financial inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at PalmPay,” Uzoka emphasized. He highlighted the company’s launch of contactless-enabled debit and premium cards, which empower users with secure and convenient payment experiences. Additionally, he reassured attendees that PalmPay incorporates an extra layer of authentication for every contactless transaction, ensuring maximum security for its users.

With the introduction of contactless debit and premium cards in partnership with Verve, the fintech platform is helping to redefine the future of payments for its over 35 million users across the country. This move signifies PalmPay’s alignment with global payment trends, reinforcing its dedication to creating a digitally inclusive economy.
Uzoka’s remarks at the conference emphasized the company’s mission to provide Nigerians with secure, user-friendly, and forward-thinking financial solutions. As PalmPay enhances its platform’s capabilities, it remains committed to ensuring that financial services are accessible to everyone, from individual users to businesses.
