Moniepoint Inc. Sweeps 3 Major Awards in 2025 – Now Officially Africa’s Most Decorated Fintech
Moniepoint Inc. is having the kind of year that makes competitors sweat. In one week, the Nigerian-born fintech unicorn picked up three heavyweight awards that basically say: “We are not playing.”
- Best SME Microfinance Bank of the Year – Business Day BAFI Awards 2025
(Back-to-back win – they also took it in 2024) - Largest Non-FI Acquirer in Africa – Mastercard EDGE 2025 (held at Atlantis The Royal, Dubai)
- Most Outstanding Fintech Company of the Year – Brandcom Awards 2025
(The judges literally called it the “highest distinction any fintech can receive”)
When one company sweeps the stage like this, it’s not luck. It’s dominance.
Why These Awards Matter (Especially the Mastercard One)Being crowned Mastercard’s Largest Non-FI Acquirer in Africa means Moniepoint processed more card transactions than any other non-bank player on the continent in 2025. We’re talking billions of naira moving through POS terminals, online checkouts, and payment links every month.The Mastercard EDGE forum is where the big boys (Visa, Stripe, Adyen) flex – and Moniepoint walked away with the crown.
What the Judges & Organisers Said
Brandcom Awards organisers:
“This is the highest honour for any fintech in Nigeria – given for innovation, scale, customer love, and real impact on financial inclusion.”
Tosin Eniolorunda (CEO & Co-founder):
“These awards are fuel. We’re doubling down on the infrastructure that lets African businesses accept payments, get credit, and grow – without drama.”

That’s why market women, POS agents, and big merchants swear by them.

Every award Moniepoint wins is proof that Nigerian fintech can beat the world at its own game.
They’re not just “another app” – they’re infrastructure.
