MindStep is a digital platform built for students in Nigerian universities and other higher institutions. Instead of juggling separate apps for money, bills, tutoring, buying and selling, communities and events, you get all of them in one place: a student wallet with budgeting tools, bill payments, a tutoring marketplace, and NEXUS, the campus ecosystem for commerce, community and events.

Downloading MindStep and creating an account is free. Certain marketplace and tutoring transactions may attract a small platform commission, and payment processing charges can apply in some cases.
