Nest Bank: Overcoming The Challenges Of A New Fintech

Financial Inclusion

One of the main challenges in Africa is the lack of financial inclusion. Many small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as individuals, do not have access to banking services. Nest Bank saw this as an opportunity to provide these services to this underserved market.

Financial Literacy

Many individuals and businesses lack the financial literacy needed to effectively manage their finances and make informed financial decisions. Nest Bank identified this as an opportunity to provide financial education and guidance.

Lack of Digital Banking Services

In many parts of Africa, digital banking services are not widely available. This presents a challenge for individuals and businesses who want to manage their finances online. Nest Bank saw this as an opportunity to provide a digital platform for banking services.

Support for Creative MSMEs

Creative MSMEs in Nigeria often lack the necessary support and resources to grow and compete on a global scale. Nest Bank identified this as an opportunity to provide the required skills and support to these businesses.

Need for Sustainable Investments

There is a growing demand for investments that not only provide financial returns but also have a positive social and environmental impact. Nest Bank saw this as an opportunity to provide sustainable investment options.

Access to Loans and Trade Finance

Many creditworthy SMEs, particularly in the agribusiness sector, struggle to access loans and trade finance. Nest Bank identified this as an opportunity to provide these services and support the growth of these businesses.
