Nigerian fintech Daya secures $2.4M pre-seed funding to scale services
Daya, a Nigerian fintech startup, raised $2.4 million in a pre‑seed funding round on June 24, 2026 from investors Hivemind Capital, Lattice Fund, Alliance DAO, Aptos Foundation, and Globelink Investment. The round comes alongside other recent African tech funding such as Spiro’s $55 million equity raise, RoboCare’s six‑figure investment, and EdenCare’s €250 000 round, showing broadening investor interest across the continent.
For Nigerians, this signals growing confidence in the local fintech sector, pointing to potential job creation, innovation in digital payments, and expanded access to financial services. As the ecosystem attracts capital, more startups may scale, offering new tools for saving, borrowing, and transacting that could directly affect everyday financial decisions.
Interested users can keep an eye on Daya’s forthcoming products, job seekers should watch for openings tied to the company’s growth, and investors or entrepreneurs can view the trend as a cue to engage with Nigeria’s expanding fintech landscape.
