Nairametrics on Thursday had an exclusive tweet chat with the CEO of Interswitch, Mitchell Elegbe at their Lagos office in Victoria Island.
The tweet chat provides our followers with an opportunity to get more insight into Nigeria’s largest e-payment processor.
In leading to one of the many nuggets from the interview, we asked Mitchell if the company was working on any new product in the midst of growing competition and innovation.
Here is how he responded.

Ah ha! Interswitch seems to be planning to go into the micro-lending space with Verve Paycode. They are also looking at venturing into the health insurance space.
