Answer ... Although the Nigerian fintech sector continues to grow in size and influence, it presents no serious challenges in terms of competition.

There are currently no pro-competition measures specifically designed to regulate the activities of fintech companies in Nigeria. However, the Nigerian Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018 – which prohibits agreements in restraint of competition and require service providers to draw the attention of consumers to notices which purport to limit liability or impose obligations –is binding on all fintech companies.
