Promise Point AgriFintech

A bank account that answers a feature phone

Farmer registration, produce payments, savings and credit — reached by USSD and voice, delivered with licensed financial partners.

The access problem

Productive farmers. Infrastructure built for someone else.

What they lack is not capability — it is a financial system designed for a feature phone, a cash economy and a road that takes two hours to travel.

The branch is hours away

A day of travel and transport cost to withdraw money earned from a single delivery.

The phone is not a smartphone

Apps are not an option. Anything that requires data or a download excludes most of the network.

Money leaves immediately

Payment arrives and is moved out the same day, so no balance and no history ever accumulate.

No record means no credit

Years of reliable supply exist in nobody's system, so affordable financing stays out of reach.

Farm records are on paper

Plot size, yield and delivery history are fragmented across notebooks and memory.

Buyers change every season

Without a standing off-taker, price and payment timing are renegotiated at every harvest.

How it works

From registration to payment, in seven steps

  1. 1

    Register

    Through a field agent or by dialling the USSD code.

  2. 2

    Get verified

    Identity confirmed and a farmer profile created.

  3. 3

    Supply produce

    Cassava delivered to a collection point or lifted from the farm.

  4. 4

    Delivery recorded

    Weight and grade captured, receipt issued on the spot.

  5. 5

    Payment deposited

    Value paid into the farmer's partner-powered account.

  6. 6

    Access the money

    Balance, transfers, airtime and bills over USSD.

  7. 7

    Profile strengthens

    Every completed cycle improves credit readiness.

Financial services

Ten services, all reachable without internet

Financial accounts and regulated payment services are provided through licensed financial partners.

Promise Point is not a bank and does not hold customer deposits. Accounts, transfers and bill payments are operated by Fidelity Bank and our regulated payment partners.

Dedicated virtual accounts

A real account number in the farmer's name, issued by our banking partner.

Produce payments

Payment for a delivery lands in that account rather than as cash in a yard.

Balance enquiry

Check the balance from any handset, at any time, at USSD session cost.

Money transfers

Send to another Promise Point farmer or out to any Nigerian bank account.

Airtime and data

Buy for yourself or for a family member without leaving the farm.

Electricity and bills

Pay a meter or a subscription without a trip to town.

Transaction history

Every payment and deduction, readable and printable as a statement.

Savings

Set aside a share of each produce payment automatically.

Financing

Input and equipment credit assessed on real supply history, through partner lenders.

Mobile app

Soon

For farmers with a smartphone. Everything it will do is already available over USSD and voice — the app adds convenience, not capability.

Farmer data intelligence

Ten seasons of reliability, finally written down

Every registration, delivery, purchase and payment builds a profile a lender can actually read. Nothing is shared without the farmer’s consent, and every profile is held under Nigeria’s data-protection requirements.

  • Farm size
  • Crop type
  • Production history
  • Delivery consistency
  • Purchase value
  • Payment behaviour
  • Platform engagement
  • Repayment record
