Who it's for
Solo founders and small teams (2–20 people) running service businesses, agencies, or e-commerce who invoice in multiple currencies and need to pay suppliers/staff across borders without bank fees.
How to build it
1. Partner with a payment processor (Paystack, Flutterwave) for NGN deposits and a remittance/forex layer (wise API or similar) for USD/GBP accounts. Build a simple dashboard that shows multi-currency balances.
2. Add invoicing: let users create branded invoices, set payment links (via your payment partner), and auto-reconcile when paid.
3. Build expense tracking and receipt upload—OCR optional, basic categories required. Tie spend to invoices for profit snapshots.
4. Add virtual card issuance (partner with a card provider like Flutterwave or explore Stripe Treasury) for team spending control and per-card limits.
5. Launch to first 50 users as invite-only; measure invoicing velocity, payment success rate, and currency-conversion savings vs. traditional banks.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere
Nigerian builders own the local payment layer (Paystack/Flutterwave integration is faster and cheaper than Western fintech can do). You can acquire early users cheaply via Twitter, Discord, and WhatsApp communities of Nigerian founders. Transaction costs are lower because you don't need a bank licence—you're an app on top of existing rails. First mover in this segment in Nigeria can own word-of-mo
