Sparkle, a newly launched fintech app, has emerged to promote financial inclusion in the country. Founded by former CEO of Diamond Bank, Uzoma Dozie, the app officially launched on June 3 and declared that it had received an official banking license from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Meet Sparkle 

Sparkle is available on the Google Play store at a size of 18 MB. However, it should not be confused with a social media app of the same name and logo. After downloading the app, you can create a new account to signify that you’re new to Sparkle and enter your email. An email is immediately sent to you requesting that you confirm your email address. Once you carry out this process, your account is automatically created. Next, you must enter your full name and phone number in the ‘about you’ page and take a profile picture. An OTP, as well as your preferred Sparkle pin, is then sent to your phone. These ensure your Sparkle account is up and running.
