For more than 15 years, Verve has been a leading force in Africa’s digital payment revolution, offering secure, fast, convenient, and reliable payment solutions designed for the realities of the continent.

Launched to meet the pressing need for a card scheme tailored to African markets, Verve has grown into a trusted household name, with over 85 million cards issued and presence in several African countries with an expanding consumer appeal across Africa.

Verve’s story began with a challenge; existing international card solutions struggled to meet the needs of Africa’s diverse and dynamic markets. Issues like regulatory complexity, limited infrastructure, and inconsistent connectivity posed serious barriers.

Verve responded with purpose-built solutions engineered to perform where others couldn’t, delivering stability, security, and interoperability for consumers and institutions alike.

From its roots in Nigeria, Verve has steadily expanded its reach and impact. Today, the Verve network powers millions of transactions daily across ATMs, POS terminals, web, retail outlets, online and offline platforms, while remaining grounded in its commitment to local relevance and innovation.

Now with a network of over 350 members, Verve has earned deep trust across the banking and fintech sectors. Its continued growth underscores a broader narrative: Africa is not just adopting digital payments, it’s shaping them.

Furthermore, strategic partnerships with companies like Manipal and Cardforte have enabled the production of eco-friendly Verve cards, allowing Verve to align with global sustainability goals without compromising on durability or security.

Driving Innovation and Regional Integration: Verve’s Expanding Footprint

Verve continues to evolve with the changing expectations of today’s consumers. Recognizing the growing demand for speed and convenience, the brand introduced contactless payment solution, allowing cardholders to tap-to-pay for quicker, more secure and convenient transactions.

Over 30 million Verve Contactless cards have been issued, and the contactless cards are accepted in about ninety percent terminals across Nigeria.

This feature underscores Verve’s commitment to enhancing user experience through innovation rooted in local relevance.

Breaking Barriers to Cross-Border Payments

One of Verve’s most strategic advancements in recent years is its focus on enabling seamless cross-border payments within Africa.

Through a landmark partnership with GIM-UEMOA, the regional switch for the West African Economic and Monetary Union, Verve became the first Nigerian and African card scheme integrated into a major regional payment network. This integration connects over 130 million people across eight West African countries.

With this breakthrough, Verve cardholders can now perform transactions including withdrawals from ATMs, and more, across the UEMOA region.
