Leading African payments technology and card business, Verve has reiterated its stance in improving financial inclusion and making payments much more seamless and efficient for its customers across borders.

Speaking at the 10th year anniversary of Verve which was covered by Nairametrics, the Founder/GMD of Interswitch Group (Verve’s parent company), Mitchell Elegbe was quoted to have said, “Our card scheme has grown from just an idea to solve the payment inefficiencies in Nigeria, into a bouquet of innovative payment solutions for Nigerians, Africans, and the rest of the world.”

Elegbe, however, promised that while the first decade marks the company’s years of consolidation and growth, the next 10 years will be “years of massive investment in unprecedented payment service delivery.”

Ogbalu’s words: “At the time Verve was introduced, Nigeria was dominated by international card schemes.

Today, we have built a payment solution that does not only allow ease of payment across Africa but has a superstructure that the rest of the world is willing to embrace.”

Verve is currently the only African card scheme that is a member of EMVCo, the global body responsible for setting and regulating payment card standards.

The event, had in attendance members of the media, partner banks, other trade partners, a representative of the payment industry regulator; Samuel Okojere, Director of Payments Systems Management, and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) amongst others.
