This case study on I-Futur describes the partnership between UNCDF and the fintech company in Niger. The iPayMoney solution developed by I-Futur is a digital payment aggregation platform that brings together and connects the services of all digital payment and mobile money providers in the country. The system is implemented for merchants and other retail services in order to expand the distribution network of mobile money across the country. The case study goes into detail about the deployment and investments made by I-Futur and UNCDF, as well as the results achieved during the project period under the DFS4Res program.

The DFS4Res program is a joint initiative of the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States, launched in the aftermath of COVID-19. Implemented by UNCDF, DFS4Res aims to scale up digital finance solutions to make economies and societies more resilient to external shocks.
