Emtech has always sort to work with several banks; the latest investment rounds will enable the company to improve its CBDC infrastructure further and deploy better versions of CBDC. For instance, despite efforts by the apex bank to promote e-Naira, its acceptance rate still needs to meet expectations in Nigeria. Through its latest investment, Emtech can improve its technology and services, which could improve the performance rate of the e-Naira and a successful e-Naira project.
