Story
In 2015, a group of visionary technologists and bankers founded TeamApt Inc. with a singular mission: to provide financial happiness by creating robust infrastructure and payment solutions for financial institutions and banks. The name 'TeamApt' was a natural choice, reflecting the team's commitment to excellence and precision in the fintech landscape.
By 2019, recognizing the need to serve businesses directly, TeamApt introduced Moniepoint, a comprehensive financial solution tailored for merchants. This strategic pivot marked the beginning of Moniepoint's evolution into an all-encompassing platform offering payments, business banking, credit, and business management tools.
The journey was not without challenges. However, Moniepoint's unwavering dedication to empowering businesses led to significant milestones. By 2022, the company processed the majority of POS transactions in Nigeria, with an annualized Total Payments Volume exceeding $170 billion. The customer base expanded to over 600,000 businesses, resulting in more than doubling annual revenues in that year.
In 2022, Moniepoint achieved a significant milestone by becoming QED's first investment in Africa. The same year, the company was recognized as LinkedIn's top company to work for and received the National Inclusive Payment Initiative Award, underscoring its commitment to financial inclusion and employee satisfaction.
In 2023, Moniepoint rebranded from TeamApt Inc. to Moniepoint Inc., reflecting its growth and the expanding scope of its services. The company also relocated its headquarters to London, aiming to become an employer of choice not only in Africa but globally. This move signified Moniepoint's ambition to broaden its impact and reach a wider audience.
By 2024, Moniepoint had processed over 1 billion transactions monthly for ten million businesses and individuals across Nigeria. The company also secured a $110 million Series C funding round, led by Development Partners International, with other investors like Google's Africa Investment Fund, Verod Capital, and Lightrock. This funding was instrumental in expanding Moniepoint's services to Africans in the diaspora, enabling them to support their families, friends, and businesses back home.
In 2025, Moniepoint launched MonieWorld, a remittance and digital financial services solution in the UK, specifically designed to meet the needs of the UK's African diaspora. This marked the first time Moniepoint offered services outside of Africa, a significant step in its journey to provide financial happiness for underserved populations globally.
