Interswitch, a Nigerian fintech company has set all plans to list on the Nigerian and London Stock Exchange in motion. The company plans to offer an IPO later this year. Interswitch has confirmed JP Morgan Chase & Co, financial advisers, and Standard Bank Group as firms working on its potential IPO.

The IPO has been estimated to value the company between $1.3 to $1.5 billion. Interswitch has been in touch with top banks regarding the IPO. The company which is owned by Helios Investment Partners tried to have an IPO in 2016 but it never happened due to Nigeria’s recession at the time.
