Nomba, a Nigerian fintech founded in 2016 by Yinka Adewale and Pelumi Aboluwarin, has raised a USD 3 M debt facility from CardinalStone Finance to expand its cross-border payments infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, Nomba provides payment and banking infrastructure that helps businesses accept payments, manage money and move funds across borders. The facility will provide more USD liquidity through Nomba’s banking relationships in Hong Kong and Singapore, supporting trade between Central Africa and Asia.

Nomba currently processes over USD 480 M monthly in cross-border payments and is targeting USD 1 B. It plans to raise another USD 20 M–USD 50 M, while looking to expand into Zambia and Uganda next.
