In a transformative step toward financial inclusion, Sabi Money Nigeria Limited, under the visionary leadership of CEO Mahalia Aisha Ahman Pategi, has forged a dynamic partnership with Aroda Finance Nigeria Limited, led by Managing Director Kenneth Nwokike. This strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is set to revolutionize access to financial services for Nigeria’s underserved communities.

By harnessing Aroda Finance’s robust regulatory framework and secure APIs, Sabi Money will supercharge its wallet services, agent banking, and financial literacy initiatives. This collaboration is poised to empower micro and small enterprises, informal workers, and the unbanked, driving economic growth across Nigeria and beyond.

The signing ceremony, graced by financial luminaries Dr. Hassan Mahmud and Alhaji Haruna Mustapha—both former Central Bank of Nigeria directors—underscored the partnership’s credibility and ambition. “This is more than a partnership; it’s a mission to equip Nigerians with tools to build wealth, not just survive,” declared Pategi, whose credentials include an MBA from American Inter-Continental University and certifications from Barney Fletcher School and Stanford University.

With Nigeria’s mobile banking surging by 230.72% year-on-year in January 2023, per the Interbank Settlement System, this alliance positions Sabi Money and Aroda Finance to deliver scalable, innovative solutions that will redefine financial access for millions.
