Why We Are Building Edge:
Empowering Every Business in Nigeria
For the past several months a dedicated team has been engaged in building what we now refer to as Edge, the next phase of API banking that is built on the Nigeria’s Open Banking standard. Edge is designed to bridge the gap between tech, tech-enabled businesses, and traditional banking system in Nigeria. Backed by the full infrastructure and leadership of Sterling Bank, Edge isn’t just about providing access to funds, it’s about fundamentally defining how banking is meant to be done.
Edge goes beyond the traditional banking model, it is enabling businesses to offer tailored or customized financial services directly to their customers. Your Customers want flexible payment options. Some prefer to pay through their bank accounts, others through mobile wallets, and a few want to pay in installments. You also want to ensure the customer experience is smooth and easy. With Edge, businesses can expand their financial capabilities without having to navigate the often-complicated world of traditional banking.
Empowering Businesses Through Embedded Finance
This issue you're facing with payments isn't unique. It’s a struggle many businesses, both big and small, encounter every day. Whether you’re a startup fintech, an e-commerce platform, or a large enterprise, managing financial services is often challenging. We believe banking should be tailor made and businesses want to do more than just rely on banks for loans or payments, they want to offer those same services to their customers. But integrating financial features can be incredibly challenging.
That’s where Edge steps in. Built on Sterling Bank’s solid infrastructure, Edge provides businesses with the technology and banking relationships they need to offer financial services without the usual headaches. Instead of spending months negotiating with banks or dealing with outdated systems, businesses can now use Edge’s pre-built APIs to easily add financial features to their products. Edge enables you to quickly integrate financial services into your offerings, unlocking new revenue streams and improving customer loyalty.
Our vision is simple: Empower every business to become a financial institution.
The Future of Business-Banking Relationships
In the past, businesses and banks had a one-way relationship, banks provided cash, and businesses borrowed it. But the future is different. With Edge, businesses can become financial enablers for their own customers. They can offer tailored financial services that are unique to their industry and their customer base, all backed by the strength of Sterling Bank’s infrastructure.
Edge is here to simplify the future of finance for Nigerian businesses. By bridging the gap between tech companies and the banking sector, we’re creating a new ecosystem where financial services are embedded in every aspect of the business-customer relationship.
