Moniepoint began as a small payments outfit trying to help SMEs modernise their payment infrastructure. It is now a multi-billion-dollar fintech that runs much of Nigeria’s SMEs transaction infrastructure. It recently raised an additional $90 million to complete its Series C round at $200 million, one year after achieving unicorn status. 

After Moniepoint raised $110 million in October 2024 to become a unicorn, early investors and some senior employees made money from selling shares to new investors. At least two senior employees who sold part of their shares in the round made $20,000 and $850,000.
