PalmPay Forms Strategic Insurance Partnerships to Boost Digital Coverage in Nigeria
PalmPay, a leading African digital financial services platform, has unveiled new strategic partnerships with top insurance providers to deliver simplified, affordable insurance products directly through their app.
This initiative highlights PalmPay’s sustained commitment to advancing financial inclusion and improving the financial wellbeing of everyday Nigerians.
Despite Nigeria’s insurance penetration standing at just 8.9%, making it one of the lowest in Africa, obstacles such as limited awareness, high costs, and trust barriers have discouraged broader adoption. PalmPay’s latest insurance feature aims to address these issues by offering users an easy way to purchase and manage insurance policies within its app.
The new insurance services on their platform cover a range of needs from health and device protection to life insurance with simplified processes and affordable pricing designed to remove the traditional complexities associated with insurance products.
“Insurance is often perceived as complex or inaccessible, especially among underserved communities,” noted Habib Kowontan, Head of Wealth Product at PalmPay.
Through these partnerships, we’re dismantling those barriers with straightforward, dependable, and affordable insurance options, conveniently available within their app.

Our mission at PalmPay is to break down financial barriers and make essential services accessible to all,” said Mr. Chika Nwosu, Managing Director of the platform
“These strategic partnerships expand our services and empower our users with tools that will enhance both their lives and finances.”
This development represents a significant milestone in PalmPay’s broader strategy of providing users with a reliable, all-in-one financial partner designed to simplify and enrich everyday life.
