Founded by Yinka Adewale (CEO) and Pelumi Aboluwarin (CTO) in 2016, Nomba offers payments and banking tools for business owners in Nigeria.

While Shopify continues to position itself as an eCommerce platform for entrepreneurs worldwide, in emerging markets it looks to be making bets on other platforms too.  In Nigeria, offers small and medium merchants the ability to accept payments via mobile and POS terminals.

Likely this investment gives them the ability to watch this market a little more closely.
