Nigeria’s digital payments space has welcomed a major upgrade with the relaunch of Zojapay — now rebranded as a reward-driven payment engine for everyday bills, subscriptions and digital services across the country. The revamp aims to turn routine payments into opportunities for savings and value, marking a fresh chapter for the fintech under ITH Holdings.
At a ceremony in Lagos, the company showcased the upgraded Zojapay platform and explained how it delivers more than basic payments: users can now access cashback, enjoy discounts and benefit from bundled subscription offers whenever they pay for electricity, data, cable TV or other everyday services.
With this new identity, Zojapay seeks to stand out as Nigeria’s go-to digital wallet for consumers who want convenience, value and financial ease in one place.

What’s new: Rewards, subscriptions and financial flexibility
The revamped Zojapay offers a suite of improvements aimed at enhancing user experience and delivering tangible value. Key features include:
- Cashback and discounts: Users now receive cash back or discounts for payments on electricity, internet subscriptions, airtime and other essential services.
- Bundled subscriptions: Instead of handling multiple bill payments from various apps or service providers, customers can use Zojapay to manage subscriptions for internet, data, streaming services, and more, all from a single interface.
- Flexible loans and financial support: Zojapay is also rolling out updated loan features designed to help users meet urgent financial needs with ease and efficiency.
- Seamless, secure payments: The platform emphasises simplicity and reliability, powered by licensed financial infrastructure via Providus Bank and Xpress Wallet (CBN-licensed), promising users secure transactions.
According to leadership at ITH Holdings, the relaunch aims to put consumers at the centre, transforming everyday financial obligations into opportunities for savings and convenience.
Context within Nigeria’s evolving fintech sector
The relaunch of Zojapay comes at a time when Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with digital wallets, cashless payments and financial inclusion at the forefront. As more Nigerians shift from cash-based to digital payments, platforms that combine convenience with tangible value — such as rewards, discounts or flexible payment options — are increasingly attractive.
For Zojapay, integrating multiple services (bill payments, subscriptions, loans) within a single, user-friendly app offers an advantage. Many Nigerians juggle multiple apps or channels for payments, data purchases, subscriptions and utilities. Zojapay aims to consolidate these needs under one roof and add value on top.
In doing so, it not only seeks to ease everyday transactions but also capture part of the growing demand for efficient, value-driven fintech solutions — especially among younger, digitally savvy Nigerians. Its tie-up with Providus Bank and Xpress Wallet adds legitimacy and regulatory compliance, which remains a key concern in a sector marked by rapid innovation.
What the relaunch means for everyday Nigerians
For everyday users — urban and rural alike — the new Zojapay promises several practical benefits. The possibility of earning while paying bills could help stretch tight household budgets. Bundled subscriptions and discounts may reduce the complexity and cost of managing utilities, data and entertainment. Quick-access loans could offer a lifeline during emergencies or unforeseen expenses.
Moreover, by consolidating payments and subscriptions into one app, Zojapay simplifies financial management. For busy professionals, students or small-business owners — who often juggle multiple payments across different platforms — this could mean less stress, fewer missed payments, and potentially better budgeting.
From a broader perspective, platforms like Zojapay support the drive towards a cashless economy. As more Nigerians adopt digital payments, convenience, reliability and value become critical. If Zojapay delivers on its promises, it could accelerate financial inclusion, encourage digital payment adoption, and strengthen everyday economic resilience.
Given Nigeria’s growing youth population and rising internet penetration, a user-centric platform that offers rewards and flexibility could resonate strongly, especially among younger consumers accustomed to digital convenience.
Challenges, growth and potential impact
Despite the promise, Zojapay will need to navigate several challenges to realise its full potential. Trust and security remain top priorities for users wary of digital fraud, data breaches or unreliable service. As the platform expands its services (cashback, loans, subscription bundles), maintaining robust security, transparency, and a smooth user experience will be essential.
Also, competition in Nigeria’s fintech space is fierce. Many digital wallets, banks and fintechs are vying for loyalty, offering overlapping services — some with stronger brand recognition or more established networks. Zojapay will need to differentiate itself consistently through superior user value, reliability and possibly strategic partnerships.
On the upside, the relaunch under ITH Holdings reflects a broader institutional commitment — not just to flashy features, but to building infrastructure that supports long-term growth. With backing from Providus Bank and Xpress Wallet, Zojapay gains regulatory legitimacy and a solid foundation to scale across Nigeria.
If the platform successfully delivers convenience, rewards and financial inclusion, it could play a meaningful role in shifting the country further toward cashless payments — offering an alternative to traditional banking systems and informal payment methods that still dominate many communities.
For consumers, this could mean better control over expenses, access to useful services like loans, and a streamlined way to manage utilities and subscriptions.
For Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem, it can add momentum to digital finance adoption, encourage healthy competition, and spur innovation focused on real user needs rather than just speculative growth.
Zojapay’s relaunch is more than a rebrand. It is a strategic rethinking of digital payments, transforming everyday financial chores into chances to save, earn and simplify life. For many Nigerians, that could make the difference between a chore and a win.
