It’s concerning to see virtual card platforms in Nigeria offering exchange rates as high as ₦1,849. As users, we deserve more affordable and transparent options. There’s a growing need for better alternatives that provide real value without excessive fees. Even platforms that market themselves as cost-effective are falling short of expectations. While we adapt for now, it's clear there’s room for disruption in this space—better solutions are needed. Until then, we’ll keep moving forward with what’s available, but I remain hopeful for innovation in this sector. That money is paining me....!!! #Fintech #Innovation #BetterSolutions #FinancialServices

Not longer just payments, but largely instore payments which should librate the informal market and remove friction on financial inclusion. I mean, think about it. It's not new that exclusion is linked to poverty and literacy gap. why not. the less educated an Africa, the poorer they are and the higher the chances they'll be selling/trading something in the informal market. We equip them with accessibility tools (speech, sound, visual, color) to take payments digitally, we kill many birds with one stone from the ground up. Ant is learning how to best do this. Invest in us to change the world. #weareraising
