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.
Move on and meet 40s now. PZ Cousins Nigeria, makers of Nigeria's leading antibacterial cooling bar soap Premier Cool, has launched the nationwide consumer promotion campaign in partnership with Nigerian fintech company Pompeii. Mom. The campaign is aimed at leveraging technology to reward 10, 000 Nigerians with 10,000 naira each as part of premier schools financial commitment to its loyal customers. What we're doing is not just talking about how the brand will meet the functional needs. It's talking about how the brand wants to connect with our target audience, our consumers. And in this particular campaign? We're gonna do something that takes the brand beyond caring for the emotional, the mental health and mental well-being to financial well-being where we wanna take 10,000 naira. And give it to 10,000 consumers. Bottom line, we're gonna take 100 million naira. And return back to the hands of the Nigerians. The Nigerians who support our brands, who trust us, who choose us everyday and who we perform together create that Cool is a brand that has earned the trust of so many Nigerian families for generations. Pope in the Others Hunt is focused on making banking simpler, safer and more rewarding for millions of Nigeria every day. We are proud to partner with Premier Cru on their campaign that goes beyond promotion and focuses on people's trust and practical impacts. The brand is giving back in a way that is simple and effective. We are moving Premier Coal from your bathroom into your pocket. Every participant in this promotion will earn interest on trial cash in the Palm Bay app. During the course of the promotion, participants are encouraged to take advantage of the promo by buying a promo coded pack of Premier Cool, that's 110 grams to receive instant rewards directly in their Pompeii wallet. Well, all you have to do is go into a neighborhood store, any store, literally in the open markets, wherever. Lot of chemical, 110 grams. Once you've bought it, the first thing you do is you unwrap it. Once you unwrap it, you remove the stiffener. The code is right there. And the stiffener, well you now then do is you take your cell phone and you scan this QR code here. This QR code will take you to Pompeii. Go to the rewards section in Pompeii and then put in the code. Instantly you find out if you've won or or not. Set to run from January 12 to April 11, 2026, with 111 winners selected daily throughout the three month period. Good.
A Nigerian entrepreneur, Richard Chibo, just announced something groundbreaking; the CoinMarketCap for Africa’s Point-of-Sale (POS) industry, POSMarketCap.
Accurate and reliable data on Africa’s agent banking and POS ecosystem has long been fragmented.
With this solution, builders, investors, and other stakeholders can now get a clearer view of the industry and visualize the growth of the companies powering it; based on data collected and consistently tracked over the years, including players like OPay, Moniepoint, and PalmPay.
If you need credible data for research papers, reports, or pitch decks, this is definitely worth checking out.
This morning on MoneywebNOW, Simon Brown and I discussed the Clicks trading update released last week, which saw the share price drop by more than 10%. Investor concerns remain focused on ongoing pressure on the South African consumer, weighing on retail sales across the sector.
However, we believe the market reaction has been excessive - in our view, Clicks is currently undervalued and offers an attractive opportunity for long-term investors.
Clicks is well positioned given its strong market share in beauty, health and pharmacy, and stands to benefit from a recovery in the SA consumer later this year. This recovery is likely to be supported by further interest rate cuts and an improvement in economic conditions as reforms begin to take effect.

🚀 Opay Gets CBN Nationwide Approval — A New Chapter Begins
The CBN has officially upgraded Opay’s licence to national status, allowing the fintech giant to operate across all 36 states and expand physical branches, agent networks, and customer‑support centers nationwide. [thenationo...lineng.net], [industrial...mesngr.com]
This milestone strengthens financial inclusion and intensifies competition in Nigeria’s digital payments and POS ecosystem. [businesstimes.com.ng]
As Opay scales, achieving consistent excellence across NPS, CSI, SQA, and VOC will be critical.
That’s where Maxbillion Strategy Ltd comes in — providing the insights, audits, and customer‑experience frameworks needed to maintain top‑tier service quality across all regions.
💡 Nationwide expansion needs nationwide service excellence — and Maxbillion is ready to support that journey.
Rehan’s story is about a simple street vendor from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)
who runs a small cart selling corn and peanuts outside an office.
He used to operate entirely on cash, handling every transaction by hand, with each rupee being physical.
Recently, he started accepting digital payments through JazzCash, using just a QR code—
no paperwork
no learning curve
no barriers.
The narrative highlights how digitalisation becomes real and inclusive when it blends seamlessly into everyday life, making transactions simpler, safer, and more accessible for vendors like Rehan.
It shows that financial inclusion can happen quietly and practically, giving small traders the same confidence as large retailers, formalising cash, making livelihoods visible, and building trust in the system.
The piece emphasizes that true innovation isn’t about grand slogans or disruptions but about meeting people where they are, letting technology serve them naturally without demanding attention or adaptation, and turning everyday work into progress.

In a crowded market of digital wallets and cashback platforms, Numoni is taking a radically different approach, it is giving consumers value before they even make a purchase.
Unlike traditional wallets or loyalty programmes that reward users after transactions, Numoni’s spending-first wallet provides instant rewards the moment funds are loaded, enabling users to start each spending decision with additional purchasing power.
The Lagos-based fintech, founded by Francis Ekeng, positions itself as a new layer in the consumer economy. By converting merchant marketing budgets into immediate, redeemable pre-spend rewards, Numoni aims to reshape both consumer behaviour and how businesses incentivise purchases.
“Most loyalty systems reward people after they’ve already spent. We flipped that logic. Numoni gives value before spending — before checkout, before the decision, before the moment that matters,” said Francis Ekeng, Founder and CEO of nuMoni Rewards & Marketing Company Limited .
Quadri Adejumo of Techparley explores how Numoni is empowering users with pre-spend rewards and reshaping consumer spending in Nigeria.
