Let’s Meet M-Naira
Mayowa Ihnmikaiye is the cofounder of M-Naira, and also the marketing officer of BeepTool CIS Limited.

Which delivers instant remittance services to Nigerians anywhere in the world.
However, with M-Naira, instant transfer is available from any UK, USA and EU approved countries to Nigeria. Also, it is a 24/7 rotation service delivery, real-time updates on transfers – to know where exactly your money is, with zero debit or credit fees. Not only is M-Naira making remittances affordable and stress-free. But is bridging the financial inclusion gap, as well as connecting Nigerians living in the rural area to the financial world using Nano-satellites. Despite poor or no connectivity in those areas, with the nano-satellites it allows the people have access to M-naira to send or receive payments for goods and services.
