Remita is sponsoring the ninth edition of Nigeria Fintech Week 2026 as the payment company prepares to unveil a new generation mobile app aimed at simplifying financial transactions for consumers and small businesses.
The two day event, scheduled for September 22 and 23, brings together stakeholders from banking, technology, commerce, investment, academia and regulation under the theme, “Legacy in Motion: Powering the Digital Renaissance.”
Remita’s participation comes as Nigeria’s fintech industry moves from expanding access to digital payments towards building infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly complex financial activity. The Brandspur Banking News Desk reports that the company will use the event to engage customers, partners and other industry stakeholders while showcasing its latest consumer focused offering.
The new app represents a broader expansion of Remita’s services beyond its established enterprise and institutional payments business. The company said it is applying its experience in large scale payment infrastructure to create simpler financial experiences for individuals and small businesses, while maintaining the reliability expected from an established payments provider.
According to Remita Managing Director, ’DeRemi Atanda, Nigeria has an opportunity to convert its position as a recognised fintech innovation hub into wider economic value, in line with the country’s Payment System Vision 2028.
Atanda said the growth of digital financial services means payment infrastructure must be dependable enough for individuals and businesses to use as part of their everyday activities.
He added that the next phase of fintech development would require a combination of innovation, resilience, intelligence and the capacity to operate at scale.
Remita has also made a notable entry into the consumer segment through its participation in the ongoing Dangote Refinery IPO offer, providing further context for its push towards a wider range of individual financial services.
Beyond its sponsorship, the company said its involvement in Nigeria Fintech Week reflects its support for talent development, mentorship, collaboration across the ecosystem and broader access to opportunities within Nigeria and Africa.
The fintech industry is increasingly dealing with customers who expect payments to be fast, straightforward and integrated into the services they already use, while businesses require systems capable of handling more sophisticated transactions.
For Remita, the focus is therefore shifting towards strengthening the infrastructure behind those everyday interactions while making financial services easier for the people and organisations that depend on them.
The company said its experience in Nigeria and Africa’s evolving payments market gives it an understanding of how payments are becoming more deeply connected to commerce and digital experiences, as expectations around reliability and customer service continue to rise.
