The Commerce and Industry Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CICAN) has nominated Moniepoint Microfinance Bank for the Most Outstanding Fintech Bank of the Year 2026 Award in recognition of its contributions to financial inclusion, digital payments and the growth of small businesses in Nigeria.
The nomination, conveyed in a letter dated August 30, 2026, signed by the CICAN National Chairman, Comrade Taiwo Hassan and the Secretary-General, Comrade Olufemi Orioye and addressed to the bank’s Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Tosin Eniolorunda, commended Moniepoint for leveraging technology to expand access to financial services and support the country’s digital economy.
CICAN said the nomination was based on the bank’s performance, innovation, customer-focused financial solutions, support for entrepreneurship and broader contributions to economic development.
The association particularly acknowledged Moniepoint’s role in providing accessible, efficient and convenient financial services to individuals and businesses, especially operators in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector.
According to CICAN, the bank’s efforts in promoting digital financial services and supporting business operations have contributed to the development of Nigeria’s financial technology ecosystem.
The award is scheduled to be presented at the association’s 2026 National Annual Workshop and Awards Night on Thursday, November 19, at Protea Hotel, Assibifi Road, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
The annual event is expected to bring together stakeholders from government, financial services, regulatory institutions, business organisations, the media and other sectors of the economy to deliberate on issues affecting commerce, industry and national economic development.
CICAN said Moniepoint’s recognition at the event would highlight its achievements and further underscore the importance of financial technology in advancing digital financial services and economic growth.
