What happens when opportunity meets preparation? At Purple Woman 3.0, we witnessed the answer firsthand. Over three transformative days, 100 women came together to learn practical, in-demand skills, from Human Resources and Data Analysis, to Digital Marketing, Personal Finance, UX/UI Design, Software Engineering, and Product Management. But learning was just the beginning. Ten exceptional participants secured internship placements with PalmPay, stepping directly into hands-on training and mentorship that will help launch their careers. The program concluded on Saturday, March 7, 2026, with an inspiring closing ceremony featuring industry leaders Kemi Okusanya, CEO, Hydrogen; Dr. Nneka Okekearu, Director, Enterprise Development Centre, Pan-Atlantic University; Foluso Aduloju , Harriet Kariuki , and Nneka Umeh, Director, West Africa Account Management, Mastercard, sharing practical resources to support continued growth. Moments like these remind us why initiatives like Purple Woman matter: when women are equipped with the right skills and opportunities, the ripple effects reach far beyond the classroom. In the spirit of International Women’s Day, we celebrate empowering more women for greater inclusion in tech. When we provide knowledge and opportunity, we gain representation. We’re proud of what we accomplished together, and we can’t wait to do even more in the next edition. Check out our 10 new interns on the last slide. Congratulations to everyone who made Purple Woman 3.0 a success. #IWD #PalmPayPurpleWoman

For two years, we’ve equipped young women with hands-on tech skills and real industry experience through internships. This year, we continue our mission to close the gender gap in tech by building access to jobs, learning resources, and opportunities. The PalmPay Purple Woman programme returns for its third year, continuing our mission to break barriers and build meaningful careers. In a country where women make up a small percentage of the tech workforce, this is more than a training program; it’s a deliberate step toward closing the gender gap in tech and ensuring women are not just included but empowered to lead. From March 5th-7th, we’ll welcome inspiring industry leaders like Nneka Umeh of Mastercard, Kemi Okusanya of Hydrogen, Toyosi Kolawole, Head of Legal at PalmPay,  Harriet Kariuki, Head of SME Business, PalmPay, and many more, who will share insights, knowledge, and practical guidance to shape the next generation of women in tech. Because when we give knowledge and opportunities, we gain a thriving generation of women ready to lead with purpose. Together, we’re opening doors to opportunity, advancing gender equity, and creating lasting impact. #IWD2026 #PalmPayPurpleWoman

We are on the path to closing the financial inclusion gap in underserved regions. Financial inclusion begins with accessibility, and accessibility starts with a smartphone in hand. With official approval from Bangladesh Bank to run a one-year pilot smartphone financing program, PalmPay is achieving a major milestone in Bangladesh's fintech ecosystem, turning digital access into a reality for communities that have long waited for it. But this milestone is about more than just device; it's about connecting people to opportunities, supporting entrepreneurship, and driving a cashless economy. For us, this is what impact truly looks like. Bangladesh now joins other markets like Tanzania and Nigeria in benefiting from PalmPay’s smartphone financing initiative. Every smartphone distributed is a step toward bridging the digital divide and a step toward a world where financial services are accessible to all. #PalmPay #SmarterWayToBank

As we continue into 2026, we’re building on the progress and lessons from 2025. Last year reinforced an important truth for us: banking isn’t just about transactions. It’s about people, trust, and everyday impact. As PalmPay became more embedded in daily routines, managing money felt simpler, more reliable, and more rewarding for users across Nigeria. Beyond the app, our focus on inclusion and empowerment continued. Through initiatives in Nigeria, such as Purple Woman 2.0 and community-based financial literacy programmes, we supported individuals and communities in building stronger financial confidence. More than recognition or milestones, the real value lies in the trust users place in PalmPay every day. That trust continues to guide how we build, improve, and innovate. As we expand our impact into other markets, such as Tanzania and Bangladesh, our core promise of reliability remains constant. 2026 is about strengthening that foundation and continuing to deliver the smarter way to bank. #SmarterWayToBank #ReliableBanking

We’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with PZ Cussons to launch the PalmPay × Premier Cool “10K for 10K” campaign, designed to reward everyday trust and deliver real value to Nigerians. By bringing together a trusted household FMCG brand and a leading digital bank, this campaign transforms everyday purchases into instant rewards, making access to cashless payments simple, familiar, and rewarding. Premier Cool contributes decades of household trust and nationwide reach, while PalmPay provides smarter digital infrastructure, instant payouts, and a seamless user experience. Together, we’re meeting people where they already are and rewarding them in a way that is practical, inclusive, and meaningful. The campaign, which commenced on January 12, 2026, will run until April 11, 2026. Below is a video highlight from the press launch.
