In a bold strategic move, Flutterwave, the largest fintech company in Africa, has acquired Nigerian open banking startup Mono. This acquisition marks a significant step for Flutterwave as it seeks to expand its influence in the digital financial services sector, and the publication demonstrates positive momentum in the developments.
Flutterwave's Strategic Acquisition
The deal, valued between $25 million and $40 million, underscores Flutterwave's commitment to enhancing its service offerings beyond payment processing. By integrating Mono's open banking infrastructure, Flutterwave will enable businesses to securely access user bank data and verify identities, streamlining financial transactions across the continent.
Positioning for Leadership in Fintech
