Hi Debstars✨,
Welcome to our very first blog post. We hope you stick around, because we have a lot to unravel.
Take a deep breath, settle in, and let's dig in with the topic below together.
Do We Still Need More Fintech Innovation in Nigeria?
Have you heard it before? If you've been around the Nigerian tech scene long enough, you probably have.
“Fintech in Nigeria is oversaturated.”
With new digital banks, wallets, and savings apps launching every other month, it's easy to see why many people think the market has peaked. To be fair, they're not entirely wrong. Many fintech startups keep repeating the same old models with only tiny variations. Another wallet. Another payment app. Another POS.
But let's be honest: Nigerians don't need more noise; they need solutions that truly improve daily life, boost business stability, and build long-term financial growth. Calling the fintech space “full” misses something huge.
Payments and transfers may feel “solved,” yet massive gaps still exist in how Nigerian businesses actually grow, understand, and retain their customers.
Where the Real Fintech Opportunity Lies
Picture this thousands of small businesses across Nigeria, from that cozy Lagos supermarket to the corner store in Enugu.
They serve hundreds of customers daily but have no clue who those customers are or what they return for.
According to SMEDAN (2023), over 80% of small businesses in Nigeria operate without proper customer data systems. That means billions lost in potential revenue every single year, simply because merchants can't track or reward loyalty.
Imagine getting 200 shoppers a day that's 6,000 people a month and not knowing who your loyal buyers are. No insights. No follow-up. No customer retention plan. No loyalty program or loyalty card to bring them back.
Globally, businesses that use customer data and reward systems enjoy 25–60% higher retention rates, yet most Nigerian merchants continue to run blind.
This is why the future of fintech in Nigeria cannot just be about processing transactions it has to be about understanding them. Debby is built to give businesses the tools to know their customers, reward them, bring them back, and multiply their value.
