‎Flutterwave has received a banking licence from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),

‎This permits the fintech giant move beyond payments and offer broader financial services to businesses across Africa.

‎Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flutterwave, Olugbenga Agboola, made the announcement in a statement

‎According to him, the development represented a major milestone in the company’s growth and ambition to build a more integrated financial system.
