Financial Interoperability: The New Normal in Lagos
In 2026, Nigeria has officially entered the era of Open Banking. Following the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) phased rollout, the monopoly on customer data has ended. Tech Service Nigeria is at the forefront, helping banks and fintechs integrate the secure APIs needed to share data safely and build the next generation of financial products.
Your Data, Your Choice
Open Banking allows customers to grant permission for third-party apps to access their transaction history. This means a lender can instantly see your cash flow across three different banks to approve a loan in seconds. Tech Service Nigeria ensures these integrations are compliant with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), prioritizing user consent and encryption.
How Open Banking Transforms Your Business:
- Alternative Credit Scoring: Use transaction data instead of just collateral to offer loans to SMEs and freelancers.
- Unified Dashboards: Help users manage all their bank accounts and wallets from a single, intuitive interface.
- Faster Payments: Direct account-to-account transfers that bypass expensive card networks, lowering costs for merchants.
