According to the TeamApt’s CEO Tosin Eniolorunda, “What this translates to is that with AptPay, TeamApt can actually move money across the banks without putting our money down. This license puts TeamApt on the same level as other Tier-1 fintech companies”.
“If through a payment gateway, a buyer pays any merchant for a product they want and the payment gateway provider needs to pay the merchant instantly, without the license, the provider will have to pay with its own money. But with the license, the provider is merely moving the bank funds around without tying down its money.”
