“We are obsessed with the desire to see that working professionals no longer have a thing to worry about as it concerns dealing with their financial needs, a world in which every working person is rewarded with a CredPal card that has their back. A world in which they can embrace life today and live more.

“For a long while, our customers had demanded that we offer services where they can access credit rather than just processing payments for them at the point-of-sale.”

CredPal’s COO and co-founder, Olorunfemi Jegede, added that, “With our current raise and the launch of our credit cards, we’re confident about meeting these customers’ needs.”
