Strategic Partnership Baxi by Onafriq has established a strategic partnership with Smartcash Payment Service Bank Limited (a subsidiary of Airtel Nigeria), highlighting a direct channel to SME-focused digital payments and potential co-sell opportunities for merchant distribution and fintech services.

Expansion Potential With a robust distribution footprint across Nigeria and a focus on merchant integration, there is strong potential to expand onboarding of more merchants, fintech partners, and rural/underserved SMEs seeking digital payment and distribution capabilities.

Tech Enablement The tech stack indicates readiness for scalable digital services and analytics driven marketing. There are opportunities to upsell advanced integrations, API access, and analytics dashboards to merchants seeking improved conversion and operational insights.

Revenue Levers Reported revenue in the multi‑million range and a growing fintech profile suggest opportunities to package value‑add services such as card to account transfers, cardless withdrawals, and network checker features as premium merchant plans.

Thought Leadership Recent awards and media coverage position Baxi as a credible fintech partner. This can be leveraged to co‑market joint solutions, joint webinars, and case studies to win more SMEs seeking trusted digital distribution and payment solutions.
