The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), recognizing the booming growth of the Nigerian payment market, has taken a significant step in shaping the future of payments by introducing the Framework for Quick Response (QR) Code Payment in January 2021.
With approximately 40 million small businesses in Nigeria, contactless payment options will make it easier for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to accept payments, thereby boosting growth. Traditional payment acceptance terminals can be too expensive for SMEs.
