UBX’s i2i to grow by 300% in 2022

i2i - the banking-as-a-service platform and open finance community under fintech innovator UBX, expects business to grow by as much as 300% in 2022. This year’s growth comes after recording impressive results in 2021 on the back of strong demand for banking services across the country.

The platform ended 2021 with 44x growth as it turned ordinary merchants into banking agents that offer a suite of banking solutions to unserved and underserved communities. 

i2i attributes this growth to the demand for its mobile ATM services - which allows merchants to allow cardholders to withdraw cash from their accounts through a handheld ATM device.
