Sabi Money Nigeria Limited has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Aroda Finance Nigeria Limited.

The agreement marks a bold step toward providing seamless financial services to underserved communities across Nigeria.

Led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mahalia Aisha Ahman Pategi, Sabi Money signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aroda Finance Nigeria Limited, represented by its Managing Director, Kenneth Nwokike, in Abuja on Thursday.

According to Pategi, the Abuja agreement was a landmark move to deepen the financial inclusion of many deprived Nigerians.

Through the partnership, Sabi Money is to leverage Aroda Finance’s regulatory infrastructure and secure APIs to expand wallet services, agent banking, and financial literacy.

Witnessed by two former senior staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN): Dr. Hassan Mahmud, a former Director of Policy and Alhaji Haruna Mustapha, a respected financial expert and former director in the apex bank, both considered worthy mentors, Pategi described the new agreement to newsmen, later in Ilorin, as more than ordinary.

She said, “This is more than a partnership. It’s a mission to empower everyday Nigerians with tools that create wealth, not just manage poverty.”

According to her, Sabi Money and Aroda Finance are set to unlock scalable financial solutions that will benefit micro and small enterprises, informal workers, and the unbanked in Nigeria and beyond.
