Omni by GigaNet Partners with Bictorys to Revolutionize Payment Solutions Across Africa
Expanding Access and Empowering Businesses with Seamless Transactions
Omni by GigaNet, a leading business management platform known for its versatile payment solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Bictorys, a renowned provider of mobile money services. This collaboration is set to transform payment solutions for merchants, banks, and financial institutions, extending GigaNet’s reach to more regions across Africa, with a special emphasis on empowering Nigerian businesses.
Expanding Geographic Reach and Payment Accessibility
The partnership between Omni by GigaNet and Bictorys aims to combine their strengths, enabling them to extend their payment solutions into new markets. With Bictorys’ extensive mobile money network and Omni’s advanced platform, this collaboration will help GigaNet tap into underserved regions, particularly across Africa, and broaden its footprint internationally, with a strong focus on the Nigerian market.
In Nigeria, merchants will gain access to a wide range of payment options, allowing them to accept mobile money payments alongside traditional and digital payment methods. This integration addresses the dynamic needs of Nigeria’s growing market, offering businesses a chance to reach a broader customer base. Omni’s SoftPoS technology allows even small and micro-enterprises to process payments through smartphones, eliminating the need for costly hardware and fostering economic growth.
Enhancing Financial Inclusion and Operational Efficiency
The partnership also supports financial inclusion by bridging the gap between digital banking and mobile money for Nigerian banks and financial institutions. By deploying Omni’s solutions, these institutions can offer Nigerian merchants innovative tools to improve business management and customer satisfaction, especially in regions with limited access to traditional banking services.
This collaboration streamlines payment processes, making transactions faster, more secure, and more accessible across both urban and rural Nigeria. The integration of mobile money with digital banking systems reduces transaction costs, boosts operational efficiency, and enhances the competitiveness of Nigerian businesses in both local and global markets.

Val Nwabueze, CEO of GigaNet, emphasized the significance of the partnership in driving innovation and expanding the company’s global presence:
