PalmPay, a leading fintech platform and full-service digital neobank focused on emerging markets, has announced a strategic partnership with AXA Mansard Health, Nigeria’s largest health insurance provider and a member of the globally renowned AXA Group.
The collaboration introduces accessible and affordable digital health insurance to PalmPay’s growing user base, offering seamless access to a variety of insurance packages directly through the PalmPay app.
With plans starting from as little as N500 per month, users can now select from a range of flexible options tailored to their lifestyle and medical needs.
Among the offerings is the AXA Digital Health plan, which includes virtual consultations with medical professionals, N5,000 worth of medication, and surgical cover of up to N40,000.
The AXA Mansard MicroHealth plan, priced at N1,000 monthly, provides unlimited diagnostic testing and funeral benefits, while the AXA Mansard Accident plan, available for N500 per month, offers comprehensive cover for accidental and non-accidental death.
Habib Kowontan, Head of Wealth Product at PalmPay, described the partnership as a major step towards closing the protection gap in Nigeria.
“Insurance is a key pillar of financial security, yet millions remain underserved. Our collaboration with AXA Mansard Health removes long-standing barriers by placing trustworthy and affordable insurance options directly into the hands of our users,” Kowontan said.
Jumoke Odunlami, Chief Distribution Officer at AXA Mansard Insurance, said the partnership reinforces AXA’s commitment to improving national health outcomes through increased coverage.
“Through initiatives like this, we are reaching over 1.8 million Nigerians, ensuring healthcare is not only available but also affordable and within reach,” she said.
“We’re pleased to join forces with a brand like PalmPay to support their users with health coverage that complements their financial tools. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission of acting for human progress by protecting what matters.”
The move reflects PalmPay’s ongoing ambition to build a more inclusive digital financial ecosystem, one that not only empowers users to manage their money efficiently but also to safeguard their health and wellbeing.
