Ceviant, a UK-based financial technology company delivering treasury and trade solutions to corporates, has received its Payment Solution Service Provider (PSSP) License from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The license permits Ceviant to offer a range of payment services to clients in Nigeria, including electronic fund transfers and payment processing.
This license presents further opportunities to partner with banks and other financial institutions within the payments ecosystem, including API integrations with banks, enabling businesses to manage bank accounts, payments, transactions, cash balances, and more, all through a single portal and API.
Ceviant’s FCA license in the UK also allows access to the UK’s financial services ecosystem, making it easier for businesses to manage payments and transactions through a single platform.
With both licenses, the fintech is poised to provide a more comprehensive range of financial services to customers across Europe and Africa.
