Powering Growth Through Talent

Nigeria-based Moniepoint Inc., now recognized as Africa’s fastest-growing fintech, owes its success to both financial acumen and a remarkable team of experienced professionals. Founded in 2015 by Tosin Eniolorunda and Felix Ike, the company has evolved from payment infrastructure provider to one of Africa’s leading banking services platforms—processing over $22 billion monthly through more than 1 billion transactions.

The recent $110 million Series C funding round propelled Moniepoint into unicorn status, cementing its position as a key player in the African financial landscape. Its continued recognition by the Financial Times as one of Africa’s fastest-growing companies underscores this trajectory.
