The issuance attracted participation from a broad array of institutional investors, including local pension funds, insurance companies and asset managers. The relative strong demand despite the very difficult economic and operating environment confirms the market’s confidence in the Company’s creditworthiness, long term resilience, and significant growth potential.

The bond issuance, coming after Accelerex’s successful private equity round in 2020, provides its Nigerian subsidiary with critical long term and local currency capital to fund expansion and support its mission of accelerating the financial inclusion of businesses and individuals across Africa. Accelerex is only the 2nd ever Nigerian fintech or payments company to successfully place a long-term, investment grade, unsecured bond in the Nigerian capital market. Proceeds from the issuance will be used to finance expansion of distribution channels and general working capital.

Managing Director of Global Accelerex Limited, Mr. Olukayode Ariyo stated that, “We are very happy with the result of this bond issuance as it confirms the market’s interest in advancing digital payments and financial inclusion across Nigeria. It is an attestation of the confidence reposed in us, despite the difficult market environment. We thank our bondholders for their belief in our Company. We will press forward with our mission of simplifying everyday life for Africans through accessible, convenient and affordable digital payments and financial services.”

Director at Accelerex Holdings, and Chief Investment Officer at Africa Capital Alliance (ACA), Mr. Paul Kokoricha, said: “The medium-term bond issuance significantly strengthens the balance sheet and liquidity of Accelerex’s Nigerian operations and provides it with much needed local currency funding and duration to support its expansion plans. As equity investors in Accelerex, we are very excited that Nigerian debt investors were supportive of the deal, thereby providing useful financial leverage and local currency diversification to the Company’s balance sheet. With its strengthened balance sheet, Accelerex and its management team can confidently continue their quest to expand access to Nigeria’s financially under-served population”.

Accelerex is renowned for its excellent customer service and commitment to payment solutions that evolve with the needs of the customer. Since it began operations in 2013, Accelerex has grown into a formidable player in the fintech industry and has established itself as the preferred physical payments partner to all merchant acquiring banks in Nigeria. The Company has over 150,000 merchant and agent endpoints across Africa and has consistently ranked as a top 3 provider of payment channel services (by value of transactions processed) in Nigeria since 2018. It currently operates in Nigeria, Ghana and East Africa, with plans to expand to other parts of the continent in the future. In May 2022, Accelerex was recognized by Financial Times as one of the fastest growing companies in Africa.
