Edits during deletion discussion

 * Following a discussion with User:Timtrent here, I've redrafted the article based on reliable sources. Republished press releases are now gone, and a more concise and neutrally worded article is now based on:
 * Two Financial Times articles
 * One Bloomberg article
 * One Forbes Africa article
 * Three articles from the Nigerian newspaper This Day (the online version This Day Live) – these articles are actual editorial drawn from releases and not cut and pasted press releases. One – Interswitch Enters Partnership with Paynet Group – is perhaps weaker than the other two but still not a press release.
 * One article on Seeking Alpha, an investment website – I realise this is probably the weakest of the sources and am happy to take advice on whether that should be removed. It is however only being used to support the fact that Interswitch entered into an agreement with Discover Financial Services in 2013


 * I’ve hacked it back and kept the personnel in the infobox to just the CEO Mitchell Elegbe.


 * I would just add that while it may seem the kind of company and industry some editors would deem ‘mundane’, this is an important entity in Nigeria and I think its position in that country warrants at least a brief article like this.


 * I’ll cast my vote on the deletion discussion, and I hope to continue the discussion there or here. Thanks. HOgilvy (talk) 18:38, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Verve launched in Kenya
Hi, Verve launched in Kenya in 2015, as reported in a number of sources including the Financial Times. Could I suggest the following, after "Interswitch is the owner of Verve, Nigeria’s most used payment card, accounting for 18 million of the 25 million cards in circulation in the country."

 * Verve has also been launched in Kenya.
