PalmPay is live in Nigeria with $40m investment from Chinese investors

Nigeria based online payments joint venture between Transsion, Africa's top phone maker, and Chinese giant, NetEase, raised $40m. 

In addition to the funding, Transsion will offer PalmPay a unique market advantage as the payments app will come pre-installed on Transsion’s mobile phone brands including Tecno, Itel and Infinix. It will be a significant market advantage for PalmPay as Transsion dominates market share for Africa’s mobile phone sales  after surpassing Samsung in 2017.
