Formerly known as Kudi, the Nigerian payments firm secured a pre-Series B fundraising round led by Base10 Partners to develop and expand its innovative products and services.
Nomba, a Nigerian payments firm, raised $30 million in funding before Series B. Base10 Partners of San Francisco headed the startup’s oversubscribed equity round and included major investors such as Helio Digital Ventures, Shopify, Partech, and Khosla Ventures.
Nomba, founded in 2017 by Yinka Adewale and Pelumi Aboluwarin, intends to use this investment to develop a payment solution that tackles existing gaps in its payment processes, with the ultimate goal of enhancing operational efficiency and creating exceptional customer experiences.
The 2017 co-founder of the payments company, Yinka Adewale, described the company’s idea of payment as a whole business model rather than a single product.
Adewale emphasized the company’s dedication to simplifying payment processes for businesses to facilitate their continued growth and success.
In addition, he highlighted the extensive list of goods they have been developing. He expressed confidence in the potential to place more effective payment solutions in the hands of business owners, owing to the funds raised and the support of investors.
A Partnership to Support Growth and Success
Luci Fonseca, a partner at Base10, lauded Nomba’s innovation and capital efficiency record, which convinced her organization to support the payments company.
Fonseca was ecstatic about the partnership and stated, “We are thrilled to support them to deliver their game-changing solutions to power growth and continued success for businesses in Nigeria and beyond.”
With the new funding, it is anticipated that Nomba will expand its products and services to meet the demands of a broader range of businesses.
By providing innovative and efficient payment solutions, the company aims to expedite transactions and improve customer service for its booming user base.
Nomba has an estimated monthly transaction value of approximately $1 billion, ranking it among Africa’s leading payment service providers.
Rapid growth and development have attracted significant regional attention, positioning the company as a formidable competitor in the African payments sector.
The most recent fundraising round will likely strengthen Nomba’s position as it continues to innovate and expand its services to meet the specific unique needs of businesses across the continent.
