And has achieved some incredible milestones including over 360 million transactions and 3 billion wallet payments across Nigeria for messaging services, with 89% being from financial service companies, and 2000+ paying businesses terminating messages and calls via its platforms and APIs on a monthly basis. The Truecaller for Business solution, integrated into TermiiGo for enterprise businesses at their request, will provide Termii's customers with a powerful tool to establish trust, enhance security, and foster better communication with their audience, ultimately driving growth and success for their businesses in the African market.
