VCASH Launches Central Bank of Nigeria eNaira API for International Money Transfer Operators
VCASH, a leading fintech company in Nigeria, has announced the launch of its eNaira API for International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs). The API enables IMTOs to transfer money directly into the eNaira wallets of recipients in Nigeria without intermediaries or delays. The funds can also be sent to any of the 200+ financial institutions in Nigeria, including banks and mobile wallets, in real-time, on the mobile app, web, or via their API.
Ibadan, Nigeria, July 04, 2023 --(PR.com)-- The eNaira is the central bank digital currency (CBDC) issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in October 2021. It is a digital form of the Nigerian Naira that can be used for various transactions within and outside Nigeria. The eNaira aims to facilitate global trade, enhance financial inclusion, and reduce the cost of remittances.
VCASH has been working closely with the CBN since 2020 to develop and integrate the eNaira API. The API is approved by the CBN and has been integrated and tested by over 5 IMTOs, with 5 more in the pipeline. The API is also available to other financial institutions in Nigeria that want to offer eNaira services to their customers.
Dr. Peter Ojo, the CEO of VCASH, said: “We are proud to be the first fintech company in Nigeria to launch the eNaira API for IMTOs. This is a game-changer for the remittance industry, as it will enable Nigerians in the diaspora to send money home faster, cheaper, and more securely. It will also boost the adoption and utility of the eNaira as a digital currency that can be used for various purposes.”
He added: “We commend the CBN for its vision and leadership in introducing the eNaira as a CBDC. We look forward to working with them and other stakeholders to ensure that the eNaira fulfills its potential as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria.”
