Moniepoint recognized by TIME as one of the World’s Most Influential Companies of 2025

Moniepoint has achieved significant global recognition, earning a coveted spot on TIME’s list of the World’s Most Influential Companies for 2025. This acknowledgment marks a major milestone not only for the Nigerian fintech but also for the broader African financial technology landscape.

Moniepoint Inc. joins a select group of companies recognized by TIME editors for their impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The list, now in its fifth year, is curated from nominations sourced across industries and geographies, vetted by TIME’s global network of journalists and external experts. The result is a diverse group of 105 businesses helping chart an essential path forward. 

Moniepoint Inc. has pushed the boundaries of digital payments and financial services especially for underserved individuals and informal businesses in Nigeria and across Africa, processing over 1 billion transactions monthly and serving millions of customers through its comprehensive ecosystem of digital banking, credit, payments, and business management tools. The platform has become instrumental in advancing financial inclusion by providing accessible, reliable, and affordable financial services to those excluded by formal and traditional institutions on the back of its hyper local distribution network.   

As Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer, powering most of the country’s Point of Sale (POS) transactions, Moniepoint’s growth is also notable for expanding services to Nigerians and other Africans in the diaspora through its MonieWorld platform launched in the UK. This platform offers seamless remittance and digital financial services to support the African diaspora, further demonstrating Moniepoint’s innovative approach to financial inclusion. This global recognition from TIME validates Moniepoint’s mission to transform digital financial services across Africa.

“This recognition by TIME is a powerful validation of the work we do every day to create financial happiness for millions of people and businesses in Africa. From enabling over 10 million businesses to accept payments, access working capital, and run their operations digitally, to supporting everyday Africans through innovative financial solutions — we are proud of the role we play in powering dreams while transforming lives and livelihoods,” said Tosin Eniolorunda, CEO and Co-Founder, Moniepoint Inc.

In recent years, Moniepoint Inc has been consistently recognized on other global platforms, including being listed three times consecutively by the Financial Times as one of Africa’s fastest-growing companies, reflecting its remarkable revenue growth and business expansion from 2020 to 2023. The Company has also been recognized thrice by CB Insights in the Fintech 100 list, highlighting it as one of the most promising private fintech companies worldwide.  

This latest accolade from TIME affirms Moniepoint’s role as a transformative force in emerging markets, helping to build resilient infrastructure and inclusive economies while highlighting its significant influence and rapid growth in the fintech sector on a global scale. 

The TIME100 Most Influential Companies list was launched in 2021 to spotlight businesses driving change. For 2025, the list includes 100 companies – from tech giants to rising disruptors – and introduces the inaugural TIME100 Companies Impact Awards, celebrating standout contributions in AI, Health, Sustainability, Equality, and Culture.

With this global recognition, Moniepoint continues to position itself as a trailblazer in emerging market fintech. See the full list here: time.com/100companies
