Merchants and customers can now collect and make faster payments with Bani Shopper…

The transformation and evolution of digital payment methods are reshaping the way individuals and businesses conduct financial transactions worldwide. In Nigeria, the journey toward becoming less cash-reliant, as the Central Bank (CBN) envisioned, continues to fuel the demand for convenient and secure digital payment options.

As efforts to reduce the reliance on cash in the economy increase, it has become even more crucial for businesses to provide more seamless and reliable payment options.

Unfortunately, the available digital payment options, including debit cards and bank transfer payments, continue to be marred by many issues, such as card failures on POS terminals, technical interbank network issues, etc.

These issues cause multiple debits, failed or delayed transfers, delayed funds settlement, and more, frustrating businesses and customers.

How is Bani attempting to solve these payment problems?

Bani continues to provide businesses with unique virtual accounts to enhance the success rates of bank transfer payments and e-wallets, payment links, mobile money, and more for seamless payments. With its Shopper App, Bani continues to innovate and introduce new solutions.

What is Bani Shopper?

Bani Shopper is a QR Code-inspired payment option that facilitates smoother and faster transactions for businesses and customers, eliminating the frustrations often encountered with debit cards or bank transfers.

QR Code Payment in Nigeria

In recent years, the adoption of QR code payments has experienced a significant surge and is expected to keep rising. Last year, the global QR code payment market was valued at $9.98 billion, and it is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9% from 2023 to 2030.

The CBN is also trying to inspire the adoption of QR codes for payments in Nigeria. In July 2022, the regulatory bank reviewed its Quick Response Code Framework, pronouncing that QR code payments in the country can either be merchant-presented or consumer-presented.
