From humble beginnings as an airtime to cash startup, Cashbuddy has undergone a remarkable transformation to become a leading global payment service platform. Our journey from a simple idea to a comprehensive financial ecosystem reflects our commitment to innovation, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of our vision.

We are not just another fintech startup, we have a story and here is our journey.

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to democratize access to financial services for all Nigerians. We recognized the immense potential of digital payments to empower individuals and businesses, but we also saw the barriers that many faced in adopting these technologies.

Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to financial inclusion, we embarked on a journey to revolutionize the way payments are made and received across Nigeria leveraging an existing technology that has been of the Nigerian society lifestyle.

We believed and still believe in the power and potential of airtime as payment method, as airtime is one of the most cosnsumed commodities in Nigeria and readily available and easily accessible than cash.

We assembled a diverse team of talented individuals from various backgrounds, each bringing their unique perspectives and expertise to the table.

Our early days were filled with excitement and uncertainty as we navigated the complex landscape of the fintech industry. We faced numerous challenges, from regulatory hurdles, fundraising to technological limitations, but we remained steadfast in our determination to push forward.

As we developed our products and services, we kept the needs of our users front and center. We conducted extensive research to understand the pain points and preferences of African consumers and businesses, and we used this insights to design solutions that were intuitive, accessible, and tailored to their needs.
