The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has a topnotch partnership with Digcey Technologies, to promote the eNaira and upscale its widespread adoption.
It will evolve a new phase of financial empowerment and modernization through Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) while deepening financial inclusion drive with eNaira.
The partnership highlights the commitment of CBN to lead Nigeria into a future driven by digital transactions.
With a shared mission to empower and educate polity about CBDCs, Daily Sun learnt that the alliance intends to foster understanding and accessibility to eNaira.
Information from the firm said Digcey Technologies is dedicated to transforming finance by promoting awareness and comprehension of digital currencies with focus to scaling the eNaira sales.
“This partnership will focus on the B2B business model for eNaira usage. Across key transaction areas of our financial ecosystem in partnership with commercial banks and neo-banks,” it said.
A co-founder of Digcey, Mr. Elvis Ajai, who spoke to Daily Sun described the eNaira as a transacting currency which time has come.
