Remita launches super Mobile App to bring banking, payments, money management into one place

Nigerian fintech firm Remita has unveiled its new super mobile app at Nigeria Fintech Week 2026 in Lagos, aiming to consolidate banking, payments, and money management into a single platform. This launch, spearheaded by Remita's Managing Director/CEO DeRemi Atanda, signifies a significant shift for the company, which has been providing payment services to businesses, government, and institutions for over two decades.

The new app simplifies everyday financial activities by allowing users to transfer funds, pay bills, purchase airtime and data, set recurring payments, track expenses, and manage their finances all within one app. This consolidation addresses the issue of fragmented financial services, allowing individuals to manage multiple transactions without switching between different platforms.

Through partnerships with various financial institutions, users can link multiple bank accounts and conduct transactions such as transfers, airtime and data purchases, bill payments, government payments, and merchant payments. The app also extends Remita's reach to cross-border payments across Africa, leveraging its collaboration with the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) to facilitate transactions between local and foreign bank accounts.

Adedayo Adewale, Head of Consumer and Retail Business at Remita, emphasized that the app was designed to eliminate the need for users to juggle multiple apps for different financial needs. She noted that the app's development was driven by the desire to reduce the stress associated with managing finances across various platforms.

As Remita continues to expand its app, the company plans to introduce additional financial services and capabilities, building on its extensive experience in corporate payments and payments infrastructure. DeRemi Atanda highlighted the company's vision to expand beyond domestic transactions and into cross-border payments, recognizing the potential for growth in this area driven by technological advancements, regulatory developments, and increased financial inclusion.

The launch of the super mobile app aligns with Remita's strategy to bring its payment expertise directly to consumers, reflecting the company's commitment to simplifying and enhancing everyday financial management for Nigerians.
