Let’s tell you who we are

We are a mobile banking platform enabling financial freedom through innovative savings products and payments.

We Are Changing the Way People Think About Savings and Investment

Vale is a financial technology company founded on the premise that basic savings and investment services should be helpful, easy, and free. We want to profit with our customers, not from them. That’s why our model doesn’t rely on withdrawal fees, monthly service fees, service fees, minimum balance requirements, and more.

We partner with traditional banks to design customer-first financial products. This creates a more competitive market with better, lower-cost options for everyday Nigerians who aren’t being served well by traditional banks. It's time for savings and investment to evolve. Join us as we build the platform of the future and change people's financial lives.
