Moniepoint Inc. (Moniepoint), Africa’s all-in-one financial ecosystem platform for individuals, businesses, and their customers, has been named one of the world’s top fintech companies by CNBC for the second consecutive year. This reinforces the Company’s standing as one of the sector’s most consistent global performers and its pioneering role in widening access to financial services across Africa.
Moniepoint is included in the fourth edition of the CNBC list, compiled in conjunction with market research firm Statista. The ranking follows analysis of key performance indicators including revenue growth, transaction volume, employee headcount, and capital raised, resulting in a comprehensive list of the world’s leading fintech players.
Founded in 2015 by Tosin Eniolorunda and Felix Ike, Moniepoint marked a decade of impact in 2025 and has grown into Africa’s all-in-one financial ecosystem, helping 20 million businesses and individuals access seamless payments, banking, credit, cross-border, and business management tools each month. As Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer, the Company powers the majority of the country’s Point of Sale (POS) transactions, and through its subsidiaries processes over $250 billion in digital payment transaction value annually.
Being named among the world’s top fintechs for a second year running reflects a sustained period of momentum for Moniepoint. In the past year alone, the Company has:
Closed its Series C funding round at $200 million, backed by leading global investors including Development Partners International, LeapFrog Investments, Google’s Africa Investment Fund, and Visa; Expanded into East Africa for the first time, acquiring a 78% stake in Kenya’s Sumac Microfinance Bank;
Acquired Orda Africa, a cloud-based restaurant management platform, to extend its Moniebook business tools suite into Africa’s fast-growing food service sector; and
Partnered with tell.money to roll out Confirmation of Payee in the UK, strengthening the security and reliability of its MonieWorld remittance platform for the African diaspora.
Tosin Eniolorunda, Founder and Group CEO of Moniepoint Inc., said: “To be recognised by CNBC as one of the world’s top fintech companies for the second year running is a significant milestone for our team. It reflects not just our impact, but our consistency – which is much more difficult to achieve than a single standout year.
“As we mark a decade of impact, and continue our expansion into new markets and product areas, we remain focused on fulfilling our founding mission: to build the infrastructure to power financial happiness for Africans everywhere.”
