I-Futur, the Fintech That Is Redefining Digital Payment in Niger

This case study explores the partnership between UNCDF and Niger-based fintech I-Futur, highlighting the development of iPayMoney, a digital payment aggregation platform that connects and integrates services from all mobile money and digital payment providers across the country. The system is implemented for merchants and other retail services in order to expand the distribution network of mobile money across the country. The case study goes into detail about the deployment and investments made by I-Futur and UNCDF, as well as the results achieved during the project period under the DFS4Res program.

The DFS4Res program is a joint initiative of the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States, launched in the aftermath of COVID-19. Implemented by UNCDF, DFS4Res aims to scale up digital finance solutions to make economies and societies more resilient to external shocks.
