[Sparkle](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002845/sparkle) has launched One Link, a feature on its SparklePay product that lets an organiser share a single link for collections instead of an account number, the company said. The digital bank, licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and founded by Uzoma Dozie, said One Link is available now on SparklePay, according to [Businessday](https://businessday.ng/bd-weekender/article/sparkle-one-link/).

## How Sparkle's One Link Collects Contributions

The organiser names the collection, sets a target and an end date, and chooses whether people give whatever they can or pay a fixed amount, which the report says suits aso-ebi or a group trip. The organiser also decides whether the group can see who has contributed. Contributors do not need to download anything or open a new account: they can pay by transfer from their own bank, through the Sparkle app, or by scanning a QR code, and a contributor who prefers to give quietly can pay anonymously.

Every payment lands in one place with the giver's name attached, and the organiser can share a live list of who has given. When the collection ends, the full record downloads in one go. The report describes the feature as aimed at the person matching bank alerts to names for weddings, burials, hospital bills and public appeals, and at alumni treasurers and trip organisers chasing levies and reminders.

Dozie traced the idea to his childhood, when his mother pressed money into the hand of a school friend visiting from England. "Sparkle One Link is an expression of that great Nigerian culture of making it easy for us to come together, to contribute and to give at scale," he said. "One of the challenges is that you want to give, but the process of giving is difficult." He added: "We need to build solutions around the way that we live, the way we give, the way we contribute."

## Sparkle's Funding and Regulatory Record

Sparkle was founded in 2019 and obtained a Central Bank of Nigeria microfinance banking license that year, registering as Sparkle Microfinance Bank Limited, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show a $2.34 million funding round in January 2020, closed shortly after founding to build out the digital microfinance bank and obtain CBN licensing, and a $3.1 million round in October 2021 led by Leafway Infotech with participation from Trium Limited to scale its mobile banking platform and product suite.

## Sparkle's Earlier Cable Agreements

In May 2026, Sparkle signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NaiTel, the telecom arm of Aqaba Digital Hub, and iLevant Ltd to extend its GreenMed submarine cable system to Jordan, [Datacenterdynamics](https://akta.pro/news-signals) reported. The same month, The Fast Mode reported that the MoU covers extending GreenMed through Jordan to support a new digital corridor linking Europe and Asia. In June 2026, BNamericas.com reported that Sparkle was preparing to expand its operations across the broader Americas region while advancing development of the Manta, Bolivia corridor.
