Mobile money operations in Nigeria are classified into two groups, according to the guidelines of the Central Bank of Nigeria. They include the bank-led and non-bank-led.

The bank-led operators are commercial banks licensed to provide mobile money services through their subsidiaries. On the other hand, non-bank-led operators are corporate organisations that have been duly licensed by the CBN to deliver mobile money services to customers. These exclude telecommunication companies, who are granted Payment Service Bank (PSB) licences.

Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) issued two guidelines for Both bank-led and non-bank-led mobile money operations in Nigeria. Commercial banks with a licence to offer mobile money services through their subsidiaries are known as the bank-led operators.
Conversely, corporate entities that hold valid licences from the CBN to provide mobile money services to clients are known as non-bank-led operators. These don’t include telecom firms, who are licensed as Payment Service Banks (PSBs).

Reports indicate that there are currently 17 companies licensed by the CBN as mobile money operators (non-bank-led).
