PalmPay has launched a series of CSR programs across Kano and Kaduna.

According to the firm, the CSR initiative named “Passing the Baton” represents its commitment to passing on knowledge and providing the resources individuals and businesses need to achieve financial independence and drive economic empowerment.

“This initiative is a bold move by PalmPay to bridge the opportunity gap in the North by providing financial literacy training and micro-business branding support to 5,000 women-owned businesses in Kano and Kaduna. This strategic initiative reaffirms PalmPay’s commitment to inclusive development and economic empowerment, particularly in underserved regions.

“At PalmPay, we believe that real financial inclusion must be far reaching and cover the grassroots. Our new CSR program is focused on supporting gender equity by equipping women with the knowledge, tools, and visibility they need to thrive as entrepreneurs in their communities.” said Chika Nwosu, Managing Director of PalmPay.

The initiative is part of PalmPay’s broader strategy to extend its innovative solutions, expand its footprint in Northern Nigeria, while building sustainable partnerships with local stakeholders for long-term impact.

In a show of support, the 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji. Muhammadu Sanusi II, endorsed the initiative and called on other stakeholders to join forces with PalmPay in ensuring the North benefits fully from the growing digital economy.
