Since our founding in 2023, Zap Africa has been on a mission to revolutionize the financial landscape in Nigeria. We’ve developed cutting-edge blockchain applications specifically designed to address the unique challenges of our economy. Our platform, ‘Zap Exchange,’ is at the forefront of this innovation, providing a seamless, non-custodial crypto trading experience that breaks down barriers to financial inclusion.

The recent pre-seed funding we secured is a powerful affirmation of our vision. It will enable us to accelerate product development and expand our reach, further establishing Zap Africa as a driving force for positive change in the Nigerian fintech space. This investment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering Nigerians. With this support, we’re determined to keep pushing boundaries, transforming the way finance works, and unlocking new economic opportunities for everyone.

One of our proudest achievements to date is securing the EU Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license. This milestone reflects our dedication to compliance and credibility on a global scale. It’s more than just a regulatory success; it opens doors for strategic collaborations and market expansion beyond Europe. It solidifies Zap Africa’s position as a leading player in Nigerian fintech, where innovation and user protection are at the core of everything we do.

Our approach is simple yet powerful: we put our users at the center of our innovations. By meeting the growing demand for secure and reliable cryptocurrency services in Nigeria and beyond, we’re not just keeping up with the digital asset revolution—we’re leading it. With the VASP license, we’re poised to explore new growth opportunities, forge meaningful partnerships, and expand our product offerings in this rapidly evolving space.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Benjamin Oyemonlan, CEO of Platnova, and his team for leading our $300,000 pre-seed funding round. Platnova’s commitment to empowering individuals and businesses worldwide aligns perfectly with our vision at Zap Africa. Their support is instrumental as we continue our work to democratize access to financial services, uplift millions, and foster prosperity through global financial inclusivity.
