With its new accreditation, Duplo has been licensed as both a Systems Integrator (SI) and an Access Point Provider (APP) under the NRS framework. This dual recognition allows the company to generate compliant electronic invoices and transmit them directly to the tax authority.

A centralized payment platform, Duplo, has announced securing dual accreditation from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) for e-invoicing and tax transmission. This is a fintech startup established in Nigeria helping businesses automate workflows and maintain full visibility over their financial operations.

This integration makes Duplo an officially licensed provider ahead of Nigeria’s July 1, 2026 mandatory e-invoicing deadline for medium taxpayers. Marking it as one of the few approved companies that can link companies directly to the country's e-invoicing system.

According to Yele Oyekola, CEO and Co-Founder of Duplo, stated:

“Africa’s next growth phase requires robust financial systems, not temporary patches”.

This announcement aligns with Nigeria’s quick implementation of the Electronic Fiscal System (EFS), seen as a national program focused on digitizing tax collection and eliminating revenue leakages caused by manual invoicing and under-reporting.

As new regulations are introduced, digital compliance solutions are becoming more and more important since authorities estimate that inefficiencies in traditional tax systems cost billions of naira every year.

The business can connect enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, such SAP and Oracle, to the tax system as a Systems Integrator, and its Access Point Provider status permits safe transmission of invoice data for real-time approval.
