Leading fintech companies, Carbon and PalmPay have started issuing Verve cards to their clients, marking a significant advancement in Nigeria’s financial technology industry.
This action comes after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) gave these fintech behemoths permission to issue payment cards, demonstrating the apex bank’s dedication to strengthening financial technology firms and promoting financial inclusion throughout the nation. The collaboration brings digital payment options to previously neglected communities by giving millions of Carbon and PalmPay users access to Verve’s vast payment network.
Industry watchers point out that the payment card’s network-wide reach and strong infrastructure throughout Nigeria and beyond are the main reasons why both fintech companies chose to partner with Verve.
With its exceptional quality, inventiveness, and wide range of possibilities, Verve celebrated its 15th anniversary last year. It also revealed that it has issued more than 70 million cards, solidifying its position as a major force in Nigeria’s payment ecosystem, BrandSpur banking and finance news reports.
Fintech companies looking to quickly grow their payment options while advancing the CBN’s financial inclusion objectives will naturally choose the domestic card scheme due to its remarkable penetration. Before this, Opay and Moniepoint were among the other fintech companies that issued Verve cards.

Verve, a domestic card program, has kept up its service innovation to successfully compete with global payment networks. The business has included cutting-edge technologies like contactless payment technology and improved security measures like biometric authentication using fingerprints and other complex recognition systems.
Continuing, Nigeria’s path to a more inclusive financial ecosystem would be accelerated by partnerships such as this, giving more Nigerians access to contemporary banking and payment services by leveraging the combined technology prowess of these financial service companies.
