MTN plans to expand into lending across key African markets, including Nigeria, as Africa’s biggest telco seeks regulatory approvals that would allow its fintech arm to offer a broader suite of financial services. “We’ve expanded access to credit for more people, but we also want to move further up the lending value chain,” Serigne Dioum, MTN Group Fintech CEO, said at the company’s capital market event on Wednesday. “Where appropriate, we will seek licences that allow us not only to facilitate loans but also to lend directly to customers and deploy our own balance sheet.” MTN’s strategy underscores its ambition to capture a larger share of Africa’s underserved credit market, where access to formal lending remains limited despite growing demand. According to a 2025 report by the National Credit Guarantee Company (NCGC), nearly 80% of Nigerian Macro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) lack access to formal credit, while a Stears report estimates the sector faces a $236 billion funding gap. The challenge extends beyond Nigeria. According to Dioum, only 4% to 5% of adults across Africa currently have access to formal credit, leaving a vast market largely untapped by traditional financial institutions. Nigeria sits at the heart of MTN’s expansion plans. MTN Group CEO Ralph Mupita said the company is pursuing additional licences in Nigeria and other markets to deepen its financial services offerings, declining to disclose the specific licences being sought. “We are pursuing additional licences that will allow us to offer a broader suite of financial products and services to customers,” Mupita said. “Nigeria is a key market in this regard, but the opportunity extends across several of our markets.” The move comes as MTN continues to build out its fintech business, which has become one of the group’s fastest-growing divisions. In 2025, MTN Fintech generated approximately $2.8 billion in revenue, processed more than $500 billion in transaction value, and handled over 23 billion transactions across its markets, according to the company. The company says it now serves more than 70 million active MoMo users, works with over 2 million merchants, and supports an agent network of more than 1.4 million people across Africa. For MTN, lending represents the next major growth frontier. The company already facilitates access to credit through partnerships in several markets. According to Dioum, more than one million people access loans through MTN’s platforms every day, using them to finance small businesses, purchase inventory, or cover urgent expenses such as healthcare costs. However, moving from a facilitator role to becoming a direct lender could significantly increase MTN’s revenue opportunities while giving it greater control over the customer experience. The push also aligns with the group’s broader assessment of Africa’s fintech opportunity. MTN estimates that the continent’s fintech revenue pool could expand as much as 13-fold over the next five years, driven by the continued digitisation of financial services. Despite rapid fintech growth across Africa, more than 90% of transactions remain cash-based, according to the company. That presents opportunities not only in lending but also in payments and remittances. “Together, payments, remittances and lending will be the key drivers of fintech growth over the next five years,” Dioum said. In Nigeria, MTN has already begun laying the groundwork for a broader fintech play. In November 2024, MTN Nigeria applied for Payment Solution Service Provider (PSSP) and Payment Terminal Service Provider (PTSP) licences through its fintech subsidiary, MoMo PSB. Ralph said on Wednesday the licence process is still ongoing. The move reflected the company’s growing interest in controlling more of the payments value chain. The PSSP licence would allow MoMo PSB to offer payment gateway services, merchant aggregation, payment processing, and other financial technology solutions. It would also reduce MTN’s reliance on third-party payment processors. The PTSP licence would allow MoMo PSB to deploy and service POS terminals, develop POS applications, and offer training and support to merchants, agents, and users on the MoMo PSB platform. Beyond licencing, MTN is also awaiting regulatory approval for the structural separation of its fintech business in Nigeria. Mupita said shareholders have already approved the separation, with the process currently undergoing regulatory review by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). “These separations are complex,” Mupita said. “In Nigeria, the structure is relatively novel, and regulators are carefully assessing it to ensure it is completed in the most tax-efficient manner possible.”

Table of contents What is in the Turbo 6X series OnePlus Turbo 6X specs OnePlus Turbo 6X Pro specs The OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro price Availability OnePlus launched two new phones in China on Wednesday: the Turbo 6X and the Turbo 6X Pro. Both phones are built around one idea: big batteries, long-lasting performance, and displays that are easy on your eyes. If you have been looking for a mid-range phone that can last all day on a single charge, these two are worth your attention. The smartphones are only available in China for now, with sales opening on June 15, 2026, via the official Oppo online store. There is no confirmed global launch date yet, but this isn’t OnePlus first time. The Turbo 6 later launched globally as the Nord 6, and the Turbo 6V became the Nord CE 6. What is in the Turbo 6X series The series has two phones. The standard Turbo 6X is the more affordable option with a 7,000mAh battery and an LCD display. The Turbo 6X Pro steps things up with a bigger 8,000mAh battery, a sharper AMOLED display, faster charging, and stronger water resistance. Both run on Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top, and both come with NFC, an IR blaster, and stereo speakers. OnePlus Turbo 6X specs Here is what you get with the standard Turbo 6X: Display: 6.72-inch FHD+ (2400×1080) LCD, 144Hz refresh rate, 1,000 nits peak brightness, hardware-level DC dimming Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Super (4nm) RAM and storage: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, or 12GB/256GB; supports microSD card expansion up to 2TB Battery and charging: 7,000mAh, 45W SuperVOOC wired charging, plus reverse wired charging Cameras: 50MP main (OmniVision OV50D) + 2MP secondary on the back; 8MP front camera Durability: IP64 rated; military-grade durability Dimensions and weight: 165.85 x 75.85 x 8.55mm, 208g; plastic frame Colors: Black, Green, and White Fingerprint: Side-mounted, integrated in the power button Other: NFC, IR blaster, stereo speakers, USB-C OnePlus Turbo 6X Pro specs Image source: IZ TECH on YouTube The Pro model upgrades almost everything. Here is what you get: Display: 6.78-inch 1.5K (1,272×2,772) Samsung AMOLED, 144Hz refresh rate, 6,500 nits peak brightness, full-range DC dimming, co-developed eye-protection tech Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Super (4nm), 360-degree surround antenna design RAM and storage: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, or 12GB/256GB; no microSD slot Battery and charging: 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, 80W SuperVOOC wired (up to 55W with third-party chargers), plus reverse wired charging. OnePlus claims up to 29 hours of video playback, 17 hours of navigation, or 8 hours of gaming on a single charge Cameras: 50MP main with OIS + 8MP ultrawide on the back; 16MP front camera. Features include Live Photo, Soft Light Portrait, and film filters OS: ColorOS 16 on Android 16; OnePlus promises six years of smooth operation and six-year battery health Durability: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K rated; passed seven military-grade endurance tests Dimensions and weight: approx. 162.6 x 77.6 x 8.8 mm, 213 g Colors: Black and Orange Fingerprint: In-display optical sensor Other: NFC, IR blaster, stereo speakers, AI writing and translation tools, gaming features OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro price Every variant of both phones comes in under CNY 2,400 (~$354). Here is the full breakdown: Turbo 6X: 8GB + 128GB: CNY 1,899 (~$280) 8GB + 256GB: CNY 1,999 (~$295) 12GB + 256GB: CNY 2,299 (~$340) Turbo 6X Pro: 8GB + 128GB: CNY 1,999 (~$295) 8GB + 256GB: CNY 2,099 (~$309) 12GB + 256GB: CNY 2,399 (~$354) One thing worth noting: the base Turbo 6X Pro (8GB/128GB) starts at CNY 1,999, just CNY 100 more than the standard Turbo 6X at the same storage tier. For that small difference, you get AMOLED over LCD, 80W charging over 45W, a bigger battery, and much stronger water resistance. The Pro is hard to ignore at that gap. Availability Both phones are China-only for now. Pre-orders are live through the official Oppo online store in China, with open sales and deliveries starting June 15, 2026. A global launch under the OnePlus Nord name is expected but not officially confirmed. OnePlus followed this same path with the Turbo 6, which launched globally as the Nord 6, and the Turbo 6V, which became the Nord CE 6 in India and other markets. If that pattern holds, you can expect a rebranded version of the Turbo 6X series to arrive globally in the coming months, running OxygenOS instead of ColorOS. Until OnePlus makes an official announcement, any pricing estimates for India or other global markets are speculative.
Read MoreRoqqu, a Nigerian cryptocurrency exchange, has partnered with Ondo Finance, a US-based tokenised asset manager, to offer blockchain-based versions of US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to retail investors. The product is expected to launch at the end of June, according to Roqqu. For Nigerian retail investors, the product offers access to US stocks without going through traditional brokers. “We have set the end of June as the launch date; we’re looking at June 29 to roll this product out so it can be available to all users,” Emmanuel Peter, Roqqu’s head of trading and markets, told TechCabal in an interview. “We’re in the final phase of testing and ensuring it meets the standards required for public use.” The move underscores a growing shift towards tokenisation in Nigeria’s digital asset sector. Several crypto platforms, including Luno Nigeria, the subsidiary of the UK-based exchange, and Blockchain.com, introduced tokenised stocks in 2025 as they race to bring traditional financial assets onto blockchain networks. The partnership also marks Ondo Finance’s first direct collaboration with a Nigerian cryptocurrency exchange. The company previously integrated with Blockchain.com in October 2025, extending access to its tokenised stocks and ETFs across more than 100 markets where it operates, including Nigeria. Tokenised stocks allow investors to buy exposure to shares of publicly traded companies through digital tokens. They are typically backed one-for-one by the underlying shares held by a custodian, but can be traded and transferred using blockchain technology. Tokenised stocks enable trades to settle faster, even outside of traditional market hours. Ondo Finance is one of the world’s largest issuers of tokenised real-world assets, with about $2.72 billion worth of tokenised assets on its platform, according to data from US-based tracking platform RWA.xyz. Over 18,000 users currently hold tokenised assets issued by Ondo Finance, including dollar-yield products, stocks, and ETFs. “Expanding access to tokenised real-world assets across emerging markets is a key priority for us, and partnerships like this one with Roqqu are part of how we’re making that happen,” Min Lin, managing director of global business development at Ondo Finance, said. “We look forward to bringing Ondo tokenised stocks and ETFs to their users and growing participation in the tokenised economy.” For investors in markets such as Nigeria, where access to foreign securities can be restricted by geography, regulation and foreign exchange (FX) constraints, these companies are pitching tokenised assets as a simpler route into global markets. “Before now, access to the world’s best financial products has been limited by geography, infrastructure and regulation; tokenisation is changing that,” Benjamin Onomor, chief executive officer of Roqqu, said. “We have entered a new era where financial assets can move with the speed of the Internet, settle around the clock, and become more accessible to investors globally.” Yet, the industry’s emphasis on faster settlement comes as traditional exchanges are also modernising their post-trade infrastructure. Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has shortened the capital market settlement cycle twice in the past seven months, moving from T+3 to T+2 in November 2025 and, from June 1, to T+1, allowing equity trades to be completed one business day after execution. While the initial rollout will focus on US equities, Peter said the company ultimately hopes to support tokenised assets issued across African markets, including Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, subject to regulatory approval. The global scale of tokenisation is gaining momentum. Over $360 billion worth of real-world assets have now been tokenised on blockchain networks, including stocks, asset-backed credit, and real estate, according to data from RWA.xyz. For crypto firms, the next challenge is extending that growth beyond developed markets and bringing blockchain-based versions of traditional financial assets to a wider pool of investors.
