How to check your BVN in Nigeria in 2025
Table of contents 8 ways to check your BVN in Nigeria USSD code NIBSS BVN Validation Portal Your bank’s mobile app Your bank’s Internet Banking Visit your bank branch Call or email the NIBSS helpdesk BVN enrolment slip Visit a NIMC office Your Bank Verification Number (BVN) is an 11-digit number that ties all your bank accounts in Nigeria to a single identity, regardless of the number of banks you use. Introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), it’s now a mandatory requirement for most banking and financial services in Nigeria. It links to your details (such as your name, date of birth, and biometrics) and is used to confirm your identity, prevent fraud, and comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. If you’ve ever opened a bank account, applied for a loan, or registered for government programs, chances are you already have one. When do you need your BVN? You’ll need your BVN for more than just opening a bank account. It’s increasingly being used across various sectors to verify your financial identity. Here are common situations where your BVN is required: Opening new bank accounts: Most banks will not process account opening without a valid BVN, even for online-only accounts. Linking multiple accounts: If you bank with more than one institution, your BVN helps create a unified customer profile. Accessing government benefits or grants: Programs like TraderMoni, NPower, and other social intervention schemes often require your BVN for verification and fund disbursement. Applying for loans or credit facilities: Whether through your bank or digital lenders, your BVN is used to assess your creditworthiness and prevent duplicate borrowing. Recovering a locked or inactive account: If you lose access to your bank account, your BVN helps verify your identity and restore access. Registering for fintech services: Wallets and fintech apps (like Opay, PalmPay, or Carbon) often request your BVN to comply with CBN regulations. Verifying your identity at NIMC: Since the BVN is being linked with the NIN, it’s useful during national identity verification or updates. 8 simple ways to check your BVN in Nigeria Need to check your BVN? There are several easy ways to do it, and you don’t have to visit the bank or fill out any long forms. Here are the most reliable methods you can use: 1. Check your BVN using USSD code (*565*0#) This is the most popular and most straightforward method in Nigeria. Just dial *565*0# from the same phone number you used to register your BVN. Your 11-digit BVN will show up on your screen after a short verification. Tip: Make sure you have at least ₦20 airtime on your phone, as the service isn’t free. This method works on any mobile phone, with or without internet, and no smartphone is needed. It supports MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile. It’s beneficial if you live in areas with poor internet or just want something quick and stress-free. But keep in mind: If the phone number you used is no longer active or linked to multiple BVNs, this method won’t work. You’ll need to try another option or update your phone number with your bank. 2. Use the NIBSS BVN Validation Portal (Online) If you have internet access, you can check your BVN online using the official NIBSS BVN Validation Portal. Here’s how: Visit the portal online (just search for “NIBSS BVN validation”). Enter your full name, phone number (linked to your BVN), and date of birth. Pay a small ₦20 fee using your card or bank account. Once payment is successful, your BVN will appear on your screen. This method is suitable if you’re more comfortable with online interactions. It’s quick, secure, and works anytime, as long as your details are correct. 3. Through your bank’s mobile app Many Nigerian banks now display your BVN right inside their official mobile apps. If you’ve already set up your banking app, this is a simple way to find it. Just follow these steps: Open your bank’s mobile app (like GTWorld, UBA Mobile, AccessMore, or FirstMobile). Log in with your username and password. Look for “Profile”, “Account Info” or “Personal Details” — that’s where your BVN is usually displayed. Copy or save it safely. If you haven’t used your bank’s app before, you’ll need to download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and complete the setup. Ensure your app is updated to the latest version to avoid missing this feature. 4. Check your BVN using your bank’s Internet Banking If you’re more comfortable using a computer than a mobile app, you can check your BVN through your bank’s internet banking platform. Here’s how to do it: Visit your bank’s official internet banking website. Log in using your username and password. Go to sections like “Account Info”, “Profile”, “Personal Details”, or “Account Summary.” Your BVN should be listed along with your other account details. Safety tip: Always double-check the website address to make sure you’re on the real banking site. Look out for the padlock symbol in the browser to know it’s secure. Some banks, such as Zenith Bank, may display your BVN under sections like “BVN Update” or “Account Info”. Most banks follow similar steps, so once you’re logged in, it shouldn’t take long to find it. 5. Visit your bank branch If you prefer speaking with someone face to face or can’t access your BVN online, walking into your bank is a trusted option. To do this: Visit the bank branch where you first registered for your BVN. Go along with a valid ID, National ID, driver’s license, international passport, or voter’s card. Head to the customer service desk and ask to retrieve your BVN. They’ll confirm your identity and then provide you with the BVN, either as a printout, via SMS, or by email. This is a good option if your phone number has changed or if none of the digital methods are working for you. Banks also use this in-person

Forget students; Nigerian lecturers are using AI too
When Artificial Intelligence (AI) first entered the classroom, the global gaze fell sharply on students. ChatGPT? Must be a cheating tool. QuillBot? For lazy students who want to escape writing essays. Grammarly? That one got a pass because it was seen as a glorified grammar checker rather than a thinking machine. Educators and parents worried that students’ use of AI would dull their thinking and render learning meaningless. But as the dust settles, focus is shifting. Scrutiny of AI use in lecture halls has turned to faculty offices where Nigerian lecturers are quietly prompting AI to support their work. In many faculty offices, AI is becoming a quiet collaborator, and for some, it is already indispensable. So, I set out to ask a simple question: how are Nigerian lecturers using AI? A teaching assistant I spoke to Nigerian lecturers across various disciplines, including humanities, STEM, business, and marketing, but they all echo the same sentiment: AI is not the brain behind teaching. It is an assistive tool. For Uchenna Uzo, professor of marketing and faculty director at Lagos Business School, AI has become a natural extension of how he thinks. He doesn’t wholly rely on it to generate teaching material. Rather, he uses it as a scaffolding tool, something to help organise his thoughts. “I use AI to put structure to my thinking, propose relevant examples for projects or amplify what I want to teach the students,” he says. He describes AI as a companion he feeds his ideas to build exercises for his students. newsletter signup Beyond the classroom, he integrates AI into his research process. Perplexity AI, in particular, is his preferred tool, helping him aggregate existing literature quickly and transparently. Dr. Victor Odumuyiwa, associate professor of computer sciences at the University of Lagos and director of the university’s tech innovation hub, NitHub, uses AI to clarify concepts, explore new developments in his field, and refine questions he plans to pose to his students. Although his lecture notes already exist, he says AI helps him stay updated, especially if new concepts emerge around the topic he intends to teach. Then there’s Dr. Agboola, a senior lecturer in his late 40s from the Department of Business Management at Covenant University and curator of the institution’s startup lab, who explores numerous AI models to find the best fit for his task; his method of using AI is more procedural and rigorous. He begins the semester by mapping out topics in a course outline. He uploads library-curated materials into an AI tool, giving it explicit instructions: generate a two-hour slide presentation based on these readings. With the help of AI, he compresses what used to be a four-day task into a three-hour sprint. He uses AI tools to identify and suggest relevant readings for his students, generate weekly topic structures, and even test potential research directions. For Dr. Agboola, AI is a curriculum planner and a quiet, creative partner that allows him to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time thinking. Across these lecturers’ use of AI rests a common sense of control. The lecturers still lead the lecture; AI just assists. Many Nigerian lecturers say they still refine AI outputs to make them sound more like them, more human, but they are no longer starting from scratch. Instead of spending days digging for course materials, they begin with a prompt and reshape what comes out. Push back While some Nigerian lecturers incorporate AI into their workflow, a vocal group of lecturers cautions students against its use. In many classrooms, ChatGPT remains a dirty word, often portrayed as a cheat code or violation of academic integrity. Dr. Soji Alabi, associate professor of communication at the University of Lagos, expressed his clear reservations. He believes students’ use of AI tools—which he detects with his sixth sense—dulls their intelligence and thinking. As such, he discourages its use both in learning and teaching. Not every lecturer is opposed to students’ use. Within academic circles, a growing number of lecturers are choosing to embrace students’ use of AI—but with conditions. Dr. Odumuyiwa stated, “I tell my students to open it in class, and we use it.” This growing group of lecturers are convinced that it is better to train students on how to use AI tools ethically rather than imposing an outright ban. For Dr. Agboola, presentation-based assessments have become more common. Prof. Uzo goes a step further, crafting prompts that produce intentionally complex or open-ended exercises, challenging students to think beyond what AI will generate for them. However, there is a silent tension unfolding across campuses. One of the uneven expectations. While students use of AI in their schoolwork is limited or completely rejected, the same rules do not apply to lecturers. Self-awareness is what many lecturers cite as a difference. They believe they have the maturity and experience to filter and refine AI output, a skill, they fear, some students do not have. Still, campus policies are trying to catch up. For students, many are warned to avoid using AI tools entirely or keep their usage within strict limits (usually 10–20%). For Covenant University, the limit rests at 15%. Some institutions attach penalties to academic work that exceeds the set limit. In Lagos Business School, the threshold for the use of AI is below 20%. Prof. Uzo states that the institution has a research ethics committee that deals with cases where such limit is exceeded. He describes the disciplinary process as one that ends with the dean and senate of the university deciding what punitive measure to be meted out.

Kenya extends real-time bank transfer hours, inching towards 24/7 goal
Kenya has begun modernising its financial infrastructure by extending the operating hours for its Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, the Kenya Electronic Payment and Settlement System (KEPSS). Starting July 1, 2025, KEPSS will operate from 7 AM to 7 PM on business days, up from the current 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM schedule. KEPSS is Kenya’s version of what many countries call an RTGS system, a central infrastructure bank use to securely transfer real-time high-value payments. The time extension signals a shift in how the country approaches large-value, time-sensitive digital transactions, as it opens the door for further reforms that could make Kenya’s financial sector more competitive, inclusive, and less dependent on dominant private fintech platforms. Extending hours improves flexibility for banks, businesses, and government agencies. But the extension also signals that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is inching closer to enabling real-time settlement across longer windows, a key requirement if Kenya wants to transition to a true 24/7 digital economy. This is especially relevant as fintechs and telcos push for access to core payment infrastructure. Currently, only banks and a few regulated institutions can access KEPSS directly. Many users and fintech founders see the lack of public rails for customer-to-business (C2B) payments as a significant hurdle to affordability and competition. The CBK has not spoken about its next steps, although the regulator may, in the future, give licensed non-bank players access to KEPSS or a similar real-time infrastructure layer. That would lower entry barriers, reduce reliance on expensive third-party integrations, and allow fintechs to offer alternatives at scale. CBK is laying the groundwork for future reforms by aligning with global trends of expanded RTGS availability. In India, Singapore, and parts of Europe, real-time payment systems now run 24/7 and include non-banks in some form. Kenya’s move could be the first of many toward that direction.

👨🏿🚀TechCabal Daily – Safaricom in anti-competitive row
In partnership with Lire en Français اقرأ هذا باللغة العربية Good morning! We have a question for you: what is the cost of privacy? Kenyans have been asking this as their tax authority explores new ways to access citizens’ data. PS: If you’re at the Lagos Startup Expo today, come say hello! I’ll be roaming around the booths. Let’s get into today’s dispatch! Safaricom faces anti-competion allegations over Ziidi Parliament rejects KRA’s plan to access personal data of Kenyans TransUnion partners with MTN to issue credit rating South African startup raises $1.8 million to power AI electricity trading World Wide Web 3 Events Companies Safaricom accused of anti-competitive practices in Ziidi money market fund dispute Image Source: Safaricom Safaricom has been called out for giving Ziidi preferential treatment. Here’s what to know: Ziidi is a money market product, launched by Safaricom, that enables M-PESA (another Safaricom subsidiary) customers to invest in a money market fund. Customers earn interest by investing funds from their M-PESA wallet into the Ziidi account. Ziidi now counts over one million users with $46 million in assets. Now, the tea: A fund manager sent a letter to the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) requesting that Safaricom, which controls over 91% of mobile money services in Kenya, be investigated for allegedly distorting the market by giving Ziidi free access to its M-PESA infrastructure. What they’re saying is that because Safaricom (M-PESA) does not charge Ziidi transaction fees, like it does other MMFs, these other funds have to charge users between $0.077 and $0.46 for deposits and withdrawals, while Ziidi users pay nothing. Sounds good for Ziidi customers, but not so well for other money market fund players like Cytonn, CIC, and Britam. “Why?” The complainant (Cytonn’s CEO Edwin Dande) claims Ziidi’s zero-rated M-PESA access gives it an unfair customer acquisition and retention edge, even when competing funds offer similar or better returns. They claim that this act limits market access for them and distorts competition in the retail investment market. So, what now? The complainant wants CAK to investigate this issue and take action by compelling Safaricom to begin charging transaction fees on Ziidi or extending M-PESA access to all market players. ICYMI: In 2024, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Competition Commission investigated American Tower Corporation (ATC) and Airtel Africa’s 2022 agreement. This agreement stated that Airtel will use ATC’s sites in Nigeria, Kenya, Niger, and Uganda to support its network rollout. This arrangement was tagged as anti-competitive and capable of stifling competition as it was viewed as an attempt to prevent other telecom operators from accessing these infrastructure. Zoom out: If a dominant player can quietly tilt the playing field in favour of its subsidiaries, what’s left of fair competition? Could this be the beginning of a future where platform power decides who wins? For now, all eyes are on CAK… and Safaricom.

From Dakar to Abidjan: Why Francophone Africa Is Africa’s next growth engine
16th June 2025 Lire en Français Bonjour, Welcome to our newest newsletter—TNW: Francophone Africa—where you’ll get smarter about tech innovation, policy, culture, and economy as it unfolds in Francophone Africa. We have teamed up with Lina Kacyem of Launch Africa to bring you the biggest insider insights and analysis of the region’s technology landscape. This is a bi-monthly newsletter, expect the next dispatch on July 1st. Sign up here and be the first to know. Let’s get into today’s dispatch! From Dakar to Abidjan: Why Francophone Africa Is Africa’s next growth engine Conversations about Francophone Africa often begin and end with its challenges, often missing the unique direction the region is taking. See previously written articles here. But focusing only on the hurdles means missing the bigger story: a quiet, strategic build-up of innovation, policy reform, and entrepreneurial energy that’s positioning this region as one of the most underestimated growth engines on the continent. This isn’t a story of catching up, it’s a story of creating something new. With a shared language, a relatively unified legal system, a stable currency zone, and growing tech ecosystems, Francophone Africa is assembling real structural and demographic advantages. From Dakar to Douala, Cotonou to Antananarivo, we’re seeing a mosaic of startup activity that’s bold, diverse, and deeply rooted in local realities. If you’re only watching the usual hotspots, you’re missing the next big wave. Here’s the full breakdown — country by country — of what makes Francophone Africa not just promising, but strategically primed for startup growth. Francophone Africa’s Startup Advantage: The Untold Upside of a Rising Innovation Frontier Let’s get one thing straight: Francophone Africa isn’t just playing catch-up in the startup game, it’s building something different, something powerful. While the narrative often centers on challenges (and rightly so), we need to flip the script and talk about the real strategic advantages brewing beneath the surface. This region isn’t just fertile ground. It’s an underestimated launchpad for resilient, resourceful, and ready-to-scale innovation. The Macro View: Why Francophone Africa Matters Seventeen countries. Over 200 million people. A shared language. A common legal framework. A stable currency union. If you’re looking for scale, structure, and opportunity, Francophone Africa can deliver. It’s far from easy, but it’s not meant to be. Here’s what the world often overlooks: The CFA Franc Zone (WAEMU & CEMAC) provides rare currency stability in a volatile world. OHADA law, for all its flaws, offers legal uniformity that simplifies cross-border expansion. Economic growth with most of the African countries projected to experience strong economic performance forecast being in those regions (among the top globally). We have Niger (11.2%), Senegal (8.2%), Libya (7.9%), Rwanda (7.2%), Cote d’Ivoire (6.8%), Ethiopia (6.7%), Benin (6.4%), Djibouti (6.2%), Tanzania (6.1%), Togo (6%), and Uganda at 6%. A growing youth population with a median age under 20 is fueling tech adoption and digital transformation. Venture capital is moving in fast. In 2023 alone, Francophone Africa saw a 70% increase in startup funding, according to AVCA, outpacing many Anglophone counterparts. Let’s break it down by selecting countries, just an overview. Because this isn’t just one story, it’s a mosaic of bold experimentation and structural advantage. Mark your calendars! Moonshot by TechCabal is back in Lagos on October 15–16!

Get your tickets Côte d’Ivoire: The Emerging Elephant of West Africa Abidjan is rising. Fast. The Ministry of Digital Transition has been accelerating initiatives to structure and facilitate the ecosystem: from legislation to dedicated space for startups. Citing a couple of examples we have: The GENIE project with one focus area being the creation of 35 digital centers in educational institutions and town halls, which will serve as true hubs for learning and innovation. The Launch of the first Ivoire Tech Forum this year A strategic workshop for the future of digital agriculture in Côte d’Ivoire: “LA CASE AGRI” – the national project for the creation of the Agri Data Space of Côte d’Ivoire. I can summarize the Ivorian ecosystem with the following: Startup Act in motion: Côte d’Ivoire is crafting one of the region’s most startup-forward legal reforms. Once fully enacted, it’ll offer tax breaks, simplified registration, and innovation support. Access to infrastructure: Good internet in urban zones and ongoing road construction projects improving logistics. Government push: the government is actively supporting and (at times) co-funding digital skills training, preparing a pipeline of startup-ready talent. Investment spotlight: Startups like Djamo are raising millions, tapping into a massive underserved banking population. Côte d’Ivoire is bridging policy and innovation, giving startups a government-backed runway. Senegal: A culture of commerce and entrepreneurship that transcends time Senegal isn’t just “catching up”, it’s sprinting ahead. Senegalese people have long been renowned for their strong tradition in commerce, with vibrant markets and trade networks rooted deep in history. From the bustling streets of Dakar to rural marketplaces, entrepreneurship is a defining cultural trait. This spirit of commerce continues to drive innovation and economic resilience across the country. If you add the power and strengths of its diaspora from France to the US, you are bond to be admirative of its ecosystem, especially in light of its market size. In a nutshell, let’s look at said ecosystem: Pro-startup leadership: The government’s “Startup Act” (signed in 2020) is operational, with perks like: Five years tax exemption, Access to public procurement, R&D grants and founder-friendly IP protection. Digital ecosystem: With DER/FJ (Delegation for Rapid Entrepreneurship of Women and Youth), Senegal is putting real money into early-stage companies. Global capital: Launch Africa, where I work, has invested in Senegalese startups since its first fund in 2021. Other top VCs such as Partech and 500 Global are all active here. First Francophone unicorn: Wave. Built in Dakar. Raised $200M in Series A. Need I say more? We can all debate African founders or not, but the reality is the Wave team chose Dakar as their first

Nigerian agritech Winich Farms raises six-figure extension round from DisrupTech Ventures
Winich Farms, the Nigerian agritech startup which raised $3 million in pre-Series A funding in October 2024, has closed an extension round with participation from DisrupTech Ventures, worth six figures in dollars. This marks the first time that DisrupTech Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm which typically backs fintechs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has cast its net into Sub-Saharan Africa. Winich Farms is only its second agritech investment, after it backed Egypt’s Mozare3 in 2021. Winich Farms did not share the exact amount raised or the valuation for the round. But according to CEO and co-founder Riches Attai, conversations with DisrupTech started two years ago. “I had tried to get Malek Sultan [a key partner at DisrupTech] onboard with what we were doing two years ago,” said Attai. “But one, they [DisrupTech] weren’t focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa, and two, they were very big on fintech, which was understandable. But DisrupTech remained in our pipeline.” After its pre-Series A round in October, Winich Farms received several offers from investors for an extension round, all of which it declined. The agritech startup had no plans of raising extension funding until DisrupTech came along. The deal made sense for Attai and his team because they were expanding their technology and building an embedded finance product, which allows smallholder farmers to access credit to scale their production. DisrupTech, with partners like Sultan and Mohamed Okasha—who co-founded Egypt’s first fintech unicorn, Fawry—has experience scaling fintech products, which Attai says is a key value the investor brings.

Sahel Capital, an agritech investor which participated in Winich Farms’ pre-Series A round, will also sit directly on the startup’s board, bringing a balanced mix of fintech and agritech experience. Winich Farms digitises the farm-to-market supply chain, sitting as the operational wheel between smallholder farmers and offtakers. The startup replaces informal middlemen who often buy low from farmers and sell high to commercial buyers. With Winich Farms’ model, Attai claims farmers are priced fairly for their farm produce, and the startup sells them at slightly marked-up prices to offtakers. It uses collection points situated near the farms in rural areas, and run by field agents. Previously, during transportation, large 60-ton trucks would wait at city centres, and mini trucks would go to the collection points and supply to that big truck. The big truck then delivers to offtakers. But this was unsafe, with banditry on the rise. However, with the $3 million in pre-Series A funding, Winich Farms has now set up four fulfillment centres in accessible locations in Kwara, Benue, Kebbi, and Taraba states, where the large trucks can easily reach. Now, the agents at the collection points deliver to the fulfillment centres and earn their quota. The large trucks pick up produce from these fulfillment centres and deliver to offtakers. In line with its goal, the agritech startup has also scaled card issuance from 5,000 smallholder farmers to 60,000 in seven months. To onboard farmers, Winich collects their Bank Verification Numbers (BVNs) on its embedded finance app and links each card to the farmer’s identity. This gives them a digital profile and makes it easier to connect them to credit and insurance services provided by third-parties. With a growing network of agents, new fulfillment

South Africa’s LovCash bets on blockchain to digitise cash-heavy trade sector
South Africa’s informal trade sector is getting a digital upgrade with LovCash’s latest move to blockchain-powered transactions. The digital payments platform has teamed up with Lisk, a German blockchain company that makes transactions faster, low cost and secure, to help small retailers, supermarkets, and informal traders move away from cash-based transactions to digital payments. LovCash sees a massive opportunity in digitising South Africa’s informal economy, which employs about 20% of the country’s workforce yet remains largely cash-based, making it difficult for businesses to track sales, offer rewards, or extend credit. LovCash aims to change that by introducing a digital-first payment, rewards, and commerce system designed to enhance trade efficiency, security, and financial transparency. “Many businesses in South Africa operate in fragmented, cash-dependent environments, with no access to supply chain rewards,” said Costas Constantinou, founder & CEO of LovCash. “With LovCash, we are replacing cash with a digital-first system that improves trade, benefits, security, transparency, and efficiency.” South Africa’s informal economy has been hard to digitise. Most businesses operate with limited digital infrastructure and prefer cash, which complicates everything from credit scoring to supplier incentives. The result is a supply chain that is hard to track and easy to abuse. The risks are costly.

Dell laptop prices in Nigeria: Your ultimate buying guide
This guide will help you make sense of Dell laptop prices in Nigeria. You’ll find a clear breakdown of what different models cost, the difference between brand-new and UK-used (foreign used) laptops, and what factors affect these prices, like the exchange rate or where you’re buying from. By the end, you’ll know what to look for and how to buy a Dell laptop that suits your needs and budget. Dell laptop series in Nigeria Dell offers several series, each designed for different types of users, including students, office workers, business owners, gamers, and tech professionals. Knowing the difference will help you choose the laptop that suits your needs and budget. 1. Dell Inspiron – For everyday use The Dell Inspiron series is one of the most popular options in Nigeria. It’s great for regular day-to-day tasks, such as browsing, watching videos, typing documents, or attending online classes. If you’re a student or you just need a laptop for light work, this is a good place to start. Most Inspiron laptops come with Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processors, and many now have SSD storage, which makes them faster to use. Models like the Inspiron 14 and 15 are standard in the Nigerian market. Some newer Inspiron models are also designed for light gaming, featuring better processors and graphics cards, such as the NVIDIA RTX 3060, all at a reasonable price. You can even find solid Inspiron options under ₦300,000 that are perfect for school or light office work. 2. Dell Latitude – For business and work If you’re looking for something strong and reliable for office work, the Dell Latitude series is worth considering. These laptops are renowned for their durability and are frequently used in companies due to their robust construction and advanced security features. Dell Latitudes often come with fingerprint readers, TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and other security features that protect your files. You’ll usually find Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, good RAM, and SSDs that keep things running smoothly. Even older models, such as the Latitude 7490, continue to sell well in Nigeria, demonstrating the high level of trust people have in them. They’re available both brand-new and UK-used and are great for anyone who needs a laptop that can handle daily work without problems. 3. Dell XPS – For premium quality and performance If you want something high-end that looks sleek and works fast, the Dell XPS series might be for you. These laptops are crafted with top-quality materials and powerful components, making them ideal for individuals who engage in video editing, design, or simply desire a stylish and fast laptop. XPS laptops typically come with powerful processors (such as Intel Core Ultra), stunning high-resolution screens, and blazing-fast SSD storage. They also feature solid keyboards, fingerprint readers, and excellent sound quality. One of the highlights is the XPS 15, which is built to last — even the hinge has been tested to withstand opening and closing over 20,000 times. While they are expensive, many buyers see them as a long-term investment. 4. Dell G Series & Alienware – For gaming For serious gaming, Dell has two main options: the G Series and Alienware. Dell G Series laptops are designed for individuals who seek strong performance without incurring excessive costs. They’re a good starting point for gaming and often come with good graphics cards and cooling systems. Alienware laptops, on the other hand, are for hardcore gamers. These are premium gaming machines with top-of-the-line GPUs (like NVIDIA GeForce RTX), super-fast displays (120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz), and powerful cooling systems. The big price difference between regular laptops and gaming ones comes from the GPU. These graphics cards are expensive and are what make gaming laptops cost as much as ₦7 million in some cases. But if gaming is your thing, this is where the power is. 5. Dell Vostro – For small business owners If you run a small business or you’re just starting one, the Dell Vostro series is a solid choice. These laptops are affordable and reliable, giving you just what you need to run your business smoothly without any extras you won’t use. They often come with Intel Core i3 or i5 processors, enough RAM for multitasking, and SSDs that help you work faster. Some Vostro models also come with Ubuntu, which saves you money on Windows licenses. If you want a business laptop that won’t cost too much, the Vostro is worth a look. 6. Dell Precision – For heavy-duty work The Precision series is designed for professionals who utilise demanding software, such as engineers, architects, video editors, and data analysts. These laptops are powerful workstations, not general-use laptops. They come with Intel Core i7, i9, or even Xeon processors, professional-grade GPUs (like NVIDIA RTX A-series), and a robust build quality. They’re expensive, but that’s because of the high-performance parts inside. If your work depends on running heavy software smoothly, the Precision line is made for you. It’s not just a laptop, it’s a work tool. New Dell laptop prices in Nigeria If you’re planning to buy a Dell laptop, it’s good to know that Dell laptop prices in Nigeria can vary a lot. Some laptops are affordable and straightforward, while others are built for high performance and come at a much higher cost. Your budget, the kind of work you do, and the features you want will all affect the price you’ll pay. You’ll find new Dell laptops on websites like Jumia, Konga, Slot, and Waziri. But stock can change quickly, so not all models will be available at the same time. 1. Dell Inspiron prices in Nigeria Dell Inspiron laptops are designed for everyday use, such as typing, browsing, and watching videos. If you need something basic, you can get an Inspiron 3493 (Core i3, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD) for around ₦335,000. If you want more speed and storage, models like the Inspiron 7306 (11th Gen Core i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) cost approximately ₦571,989. Mid-range options,

A fund manager has asked the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) to investigate Safaricom over what he says is preferential treatment for its new money market product, Ziidi. The May 26 letter by I.C. Law LLP, which mentions Cytonn CEO Edwin Dande as its client, claims that Safaricom is distorting the market by giving Ziidi free access to its M-PESA infrastructure while rival funds are forced to pass on transaction costs to customers. “We submit that this arrangement constitutes a restrictive trade practice under section 21 of the Competition Act as it applies dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions, limits market access for competing funds, and distorts competition in the retail investment market,” the letter, which TechCabal saw, said. “We respectfully request that the Competition Authority of Kenya investigate this conduct and take appropriate enforcement action, including the termination of the exclusive arrangement and imposition of necessary sanctions.” The letter argues that the structure breaks competition law, and rests the case on the claim that Safaricom, which controls over 91% of mobile money services in Kenya, is using its infrastructure to give Ziidi privileged access at the expense of everyone else. The letter further claims that the setup amounts to a restrictive vertical agreement, where Safaricom and Ziidi, two separate entities, treat similar transactions differently. Investors using other funds are charged between KES 10 and KES 60 for deposits and withdrawals, depending on the amount. Ziidi users pay nothing. The letter names Standard Investment Bank, ALA Capital, and Sanlam Investments East Africa—Ziidi’s fund managers—as indirect beneficiaries of this pricing setup. The complainants claim this gives Ziidi an unfair customer acquisition and retention edge, even when competing funds offer similar or better returns. The call for CAK’s intervention comes amid growing disquiet over the rollout of Ziidi. Safaricom has not addressed the future of Mali, its first money market product launched in 2020, which has remained frozen since early 2025. Genghis Capital, Mali’s fund manager, previously accused Safaricom of orchestrating a silent exit from Mali, first by triggering a liquidity crunch and then directing customers toward Ziidi without consent. Ziidi received regulatory approval in November 2024 and now counts over one million users with KES 6 billion ($46 million) in assets. Some Mali users were allegedly migrated to Ziidi without opting in, which sparked a legal dispute between Safaricom and Genghis. While both products still appear on the M-PESA app, only Ziidi remains operational. Mali is no longer accepting new sign-ups. Kenya’s money market space has seen rapid growth. As of June 2024, money market funds held 67.4% of total collective investments, amounting to KES 171.2 billion ($1.3 billion). This growth has come with increased competition, particularly around access to low-cost, mobile-first retail investors. The complainant wants CAK to compel Safaricom to either extend zero-rated M-PESA access to all market players or restore parity by charging transaction fees on Ziidi. They argue that without such enforcement, the market will tilt further in favour of vertically aligned products and erode trust in the country’s digital finance ecosystem. Neither the law firm representing Dande nor Safaricom immediately offered comment on the matter.

Safaricom briefly hit a trillion-shilling in market cap Wave enters Cameroon’s payments market LemFi acquires Pillar to give migrants access to credit Airtel’s SmartCash now lets you buy car insurance from your phone World Wide Web 3 Opportunities Companies Safaricom briefly hit a trillion-shilling in market cap Image Source: Safaricom On June 12, Safaricom, Kenya’s largest telecom company, celebrated briefly after it became a KES 1 trillion ($7.7 billion) company. This was the first time that Safaricom reached a trillion-shilling status since October 2022. Being worth a trillion-shilling last week made Safaricom the most valuable company on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE). In good company: Safaricom is among only eight publicly-traded telecom companies in Africa that have at least $1 billion market caps, including MTN Group, MTN Nigeria, Airtel Africa, Vodacom Group, Sonatel Senegal, Morocco’s Maroc Telecom, and South Africa’s Telkom. However, Safaricom has since lost its trillion-shilling status. At the close of market on Monday, Safaricom’s market cap had declined to KES 987.61 billion ($7.6 billion). Yet, the telecom giant has been on an upward market trend. Year-to-date, Safaricom has grown its market share by 43% from KES 689.13 billion ($5.3 billion) to KES 987.61 billion ($7.6 billion). Its share price has also climbed from KES 17.25 ($0.13) to KES 23 ($0.18) since the start of the year. Why is Safaricom’s market cap flying high? The rally is due to a string of strong financial results and investor confidence. In May 2025, Safaricom posted a record KES 388.7 billion ($3 billion) in revenue and a 10.8% rise in net income. Much of the momentum is also driven by M-Pesa, which now contributes 44.2% of service revenue. Expanding into Ethiopia has added 2.8 million M-Pesa users in one year, who are transacting KES 20.6 billion ($159 million). Safaricom also expects to turn profitable in Ethiopia by 2027.
