CashAfrica and ChamsSwitch Partner to Expand Contactless Payments in Nigeria

Nigeria’s digital payment ecosystem is set for further growth as CashAfrica enters a strategic partnership with ChamsSwitch Limited to strengthen tap-to-pay infrastructure across the country.

The collaboration will integrate CashAfrica’s NFC-powered contactless payment technology with ChamsSwitch’s regulated switching and transaction processing network. The move is expected to improve the speed, security, and reliability of contactless payments for businesses and consumers.

As tap-to-pay adoption continues to rise in Nigeria, the partnership aims to address key challenges such as payment stability, infrastructure scalability, and regulatory compliance.

For banks and fintech companies, the integration provides access to stronger transaction processing capabilities and improved compliance support. Merchants are also expected to benefit from smoother and more dependable contactless payment experiences at retail locations.

Industry analysts believe partnerships like this could accelerate Nigeria’s transition toward a more cashless economy by increasing trust and convenience in digital payment systems.

The development also reflects broader efforts within Africa’s fintech sector to modernize payment infrastructure and promote seamless financial transactions through innovative technology solutions.
