In an exclusive interview with Veritas News Hub, the CEO of MariPay, Abodunrin Saheed, shared the inspiring story behind the fintech company's journey. Starting from the streets of Ilorin in 2018, MariPay has evolved from a humble initiative to a neobank designed to simplify payments, empower businesses, and unlock financial inclusion at scale.
"We worked closely with SMEs, market women, and traders, helping them save, access small loans, and manage daily cash flow," Saheed explained. "What I saw was not just a gap, it was a massive opportunity. Businesses were losing revenue because payments were delayed. Traders operated in fragmented systems, and millions of people were excluded from efficient financial tools not because they lacked ambition, but because the infrastructure simply wasn’t built for them."
Today, MariPay is building a financial infrastructure that powers everyday transactions across individuals and businesses. With a strong grassroots foundation and clear market insight, the company is entering a phase where execution, adoption, and strategic partnerships will define the next level of growth.
"Our product is fast, reliable, and intentionally designed for the African market," Saheed emphasized. "We are building for millions of users and positioning for billions in transaction flow. This is bigger than a fintech app. MariPay is being built as financial infrastructure."
MariPay's mission aligns with the broader fintech trend in Africa, which is driving financial inclusion and empowering individuals and businesses. Fintech solutions, such as mobile banking and digital payments, have significantly improved financial access for underserved populations.
As MariPay embarks on its next growth phase, Saheed invites interested parties to join the conversation. "If you see the opportunity and want early access to what we're building with MariPay, send me a direct message and let's have a real conversation."
