Nigeria's retail economy is massive — but fragmented
Millions of traders transact billions of naira daily across informal physical markets. Yet these markets remain offline, cash-based, and financially excluded — with unstructured supply chains and little access to digital tools.
Rather than replacing physical markets, zmarket embeds directly inside them. We partner with market unions and leadership structures to onboard traders, digitize their businesses, and organize market networks into verified merchant ecosystems.
