It is currently available on both iOS and Android platforms,\u201d Ogbeh explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though still in its early stages, he said, Ofunds has already gained over 15,000 users across Eastern Nigeria, highlighting growing interest in independent digital banking solutions. He stated that the concentration of early adopters in the region reflects a demand for fintech tools that are easy to use and locally relevant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ogbeh believes that the app\u2019s early traction demonstrates the potential for fintech platforms to compete with traditional banks, close gaps in financial access, and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria\u2019s economic growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOfunds represents part of a broader mission to develop African-built fintech solutions that prioritise accessibility, simplicity, and financial inclusion for all,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> All rights reserved.
