| | | Stellar in Nigeria, Oradian, & the World Bank. | | | | | | | Hello from Lagos, Nigeria! From late January to mid-February, four of Stellar.org’s team members are in Lagos. We’re building relationships with developers and financial service providers on the ground, and learning more about the specifics of the Nigerian ecosystem. We've been invited to speak at a number of events and meetups in the community, including a sold-out talk at startup accelerator iDEA Nigeria for 150 people.
We came to Nigeria to make a major announcement. Today, a new Stellar integration goes live: a low-cost payment transfer network among several microfinance organizations in Nigeria. Via an integration with microfinance software provider Oradian, this network reaches a total of 200 branches and serves over 300,000 end clients (over 90% are women), mainly in rural areas across Nigeria.
