At GITEX 2025 in Lagos, PalmPay demonstrated why it’s at the forefront of Africa’s digital banking revolution. The neobank is not just about transactions, it’s about building systems that Africans can trust.
Chibuzor Melah, Vice President of Partnerships, shared insights on transforming bold ideas into real-world solutions during the panel “From Idea to Infrastructure, The African Tech Executive & Founders’ Playbook.” He highlighted the continent’s unique challenges: heavy reliance on cash and limited financial literacy. For PalmPay, overcoming these hurdles means putting people first, simplifying technology, and designing tools that work for everyone, everywhere.
The strategy is simple but powerful: launch products that earn trust immediately, partner locally to understand real needs, and stay agile to adapt quickly to Africa’s diverse markets. The goal isn’t just innovation, it’s empowerment.
With over 40 million users relying on its intuitive platform, PalmPay is turning financial inclusion from a concept into a daily reality. GITEX 2025 offered a stage to reaffirm that mission: building trust, creating value, and making financial tools truly accessible for all.
