Moniepoint Inc., a Nigerian-founded financial technology company, has been named among the United Kingdom’s leading fintech firms by CNBC, in collaboration with research firm Statista.

The recognition places Moniepoint in the ranks of influential companies shaping financial technology in the UK, marking a major milestone in its international expansion drive.

Founded in Nigeria, Moniepoint has built its reputation as one of Africa’s fastest-growing fintechs by providing reliable digital banking and payment infrastructure to millions of individuals and small businesses. Its services include business banking, personal accounts, and payment solutions that power day-to-day transactions across markets.

Industry experts say the company’s inclusion in CNBC’s ranking reflects both its operational scale and the broader rise of African innovation in global finance. Moniepoint has consistently been recognized for addressing financial inclusion in Nigeria, where it has helped close the gap for underserved populations, and is now extending that impact to international markets.

The listing also highlights a trend of African-founded companies making strong inroads into the global fintech space, challenging established players and attracting significant investor attention.

Moniepoint executives have framed the expansion into the UK and beyond as part of a long-term vision to build a trusted global financial services brand, rooted in African innovation but competitive on the world stage.
