Nigerian Center Partners with Taptap Send
The Nigerian Center partners with Taptap Send to amplify its program’s reach in Nigerian American communities across the United States
WASHINGTON DC, - The Nigerian Center is pleased to announce its partnership with Taptap Send, a fintech company that allows people to send money back home to Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. As a part of this partnership, Taptap Send will provide financial and promotional support for the center’s Know Your Rights immigration workshops and its Access to Capital financial education series. The company will also sponsor the organization’s NC Talks speaker and cultural series throughout its 2022 program calendar year.
In February 2022, the Nigerian Center opened its doors in Washington DC, and began serving the Nigerian American community across the United States through a series of programs geared toward its mission of fostering financial inclusion while providing a connection to the Nigerian culture in the United States.
According to Gbenga Ogunjimi, Founder and CEO of the Nigerian Center, “We are thrilled to partner with Taptap Send, a company whose work of digital financial inclusion aligns with our core mission. We, therefore, are looking forward to working with Taptap Send to amplify the Nigerian Center’s work of financial inclusion and social justice opportunities, particularly for previously unreached members of the Nigerian American community across the country.”

The Nigerian Center is the first immigrant and cultural center for the Nigerian diaspora. Located in the nation’s capital, the Nigerian Center was established to provide social justice opportunities for members of the Nigerian American community in the United States. Additionally, the center supports newly arrived immigrants with culturally sensitive transition and self-sufficiency opportunities. While we are called the Nigerian Center, we are happy to serve all immigrant communities in the United States.
Taptap Send serves immigrant communities by helping them with their most important financial needs: sending money to friends and family back home. The company’s first product, the Taptap Send mobile app, is easy to use and allows immigrants to send money back home within minutes at great rates to Africa and Asia, with no fees for most countries. Taptap Send is backed by top VCs (Spark, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital...) and is rapidly growing.
