PalmPay Targets 35million People With Digital Insurance Services

PalmPay, in its move to deepen insurance penetration in the country, is targeting its 35 million customers with digital insurance products.

PalmPay is a digital banking platform in Africa with a strong presence in Nigeria.

To this end, it has cemented strategic partnerships with top-tier insurance providers to offer accessible, affordable and simplified insurance products directly within the PalmPay app.

This initiative, it pointed out, reflects its continued commitment to deepening financial inclusion and underscores its mission to improve the wellbeing of everyday Nigerians.

With insurance penetration still below 1 per cent in a country of over 200 million people, Nigeria remains one of the least insured populations in Africa.
