Who it's for

Solo builder or 2-person team targeting Nigerian middle-income earners (Lagos, Abuja, PH) who spend via card or mobile money and want tangible return on everyday transactions

How to build it

1. Partner with 3–5 local merchants (quick-service restaurants, supermarkets, fuel stations, telecoms) to offer 1–3% cashback; negotiate as revenue-share, not upfront cost 2. Build a simple mobile app (Flutter or React Native) that shows a user's transaction feed, accrued cashback balance, and redemption options (wallet top-up, airtime, Paystack payout) 3. Integrate with Paystack or Flutterwave to settle merchant payments weekly and push cashback to user wallets in real-time 4. Launch with 500–1000 beta users in one zone (e.g., Ikoyi merchants + their customers); track churn and average earning per user 5. Automate compliance: card tokenization, KYC lite (NIN or BVN), and transaction logging for regulatory clarity with CBN and FIRS

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian merchants already compete on cashback via WhatsApp; a unified app gives you the infrastructure play. Your cost of user acquisition is near-zero if you go merchant-first (they promote to their customers). Paystack/Flutterwave settlement is instant and local—no forex or API delays. You can profitably take 0.5–1% spread on merchant rates that were already baked in; users see the cashback, me
