TGIPay, a fintech company committed to revolutionizing how businesses collect and process payments across Africa, has officially launched its operations in Nigeria.
The launch, held in Lagos recently, attracted key players from the financial and technology sectors, including representatives from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), top commercial banks, and leading fintech innovators. The event signaled TGIPay’s readiness to become a major player in Africa’s evolving digital payment ecosystem.
With TGIPay, businesses can now access a unified platform that supports multiple payment channels, including cards, bank transfers, USSD, and virtual accounts, from a single, easy-to-use dashboard. The platform offers real-time settlements, instant transaction alerts, and developer-friendly APIs designed to integrate seamlessly into existing business systems.
According to the company, the goal is to simplify the complex landscape of digital payments while ensuring speed, transparency, and reliability for merchants and consumers alike.
Speaking at the event, TGIPay’s Chief Executive Officer, Gbolahan Raji, said the company was founded to close the gap between financial inclusion and digital transformation across Africa.
“TGIPay is more than a payment gateway, it’s a catalyst for growth,” Raji said. “We’re empowering businesses with tools that make payments fast, transparent, and reliable. Our mission is to restore trust in digital transactions while supporting Africa’s broader vision of inclusive financial growth.”
In his remarks, TGIPay Chairman, Olumide Adebowale, highlighted the personal and professional journey that led to the company’s creation. “Africa’s payment landscape is evolving rapidly, and TGIPay is here to set a new standard of excellence,” he noted. “Our partnerships with banks, fintechs, and regulators demonstrate our long-term commitment to building sustainable solutions that simplify commerce and foster trust.
This is a dream that began over 30 years ago, and to see it come to life today is deeply fulfilling.
I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this vision a reality.” TGIPay’s infrastructure has been engineered for reliability and scalability, even in regions with inconsistent power or internet access.
The platform’s PCI DSS certification ensures top-tier, bank-grade security, while its hybrid online/offline capability enables merchants to continue processing transactions without interruption — a key advantage for small and medium enterprises across Africa.
Mr. Tanitoluwa Adebowale, TGIPay’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the company’s commitment to technology-driven innovation.
“From the outset, our goal was to create a platform that not only processes payments but anticipates risks, ensures reliability, and scales intelligently,” he said. “Every line of code reflects our dedication to performance, data integrity, and user security. We are obsessed with creating technology that serves people safely and seamlessly.”
Also speaking at the event, Mr. Lanre Adelanwa Basamta, Co-founder and CEO of Optimus AI, commended TGIPay’s focus on user trust and data protection.
“TGIPay’s intentionality toward data protection and user security is impressive,” he said. “Their architecture demonstrates a deep respect for customer trust — a quality that sets them apart in today’s fintech landscape.”
As TGIPay begins its expansion into other African markets, the company’s vision remains consistent: to simplify payments, build trust, and accelerate the continent’s digital financial inclusion.
With innovation, scalability, and security at its core, TGIPay is positioning itself as a key enabler of Africa’s next wave of financial and technological transformation.
