TetradPay Leads African Fintech Spotlight At Lagos Tech Fest 2026

Fintech company TetradPay, which makes international money transfers easier, demonstrated its dedication to Africa’s developing tech scene on February 18 by taking part as an associate sponsor of Lagos Tech Fest 2026.

TetradPay is a fintech platform established in the UK that specialises in offering cross-border payment infrastructure that is safe, scalable, and reasonably priced. Its primary function is to facilitate transactions between more than 20 countries globally. Since its founding in 2022, the firm has developed into a multi-currency platform that helps people and companies navigate Africa’s digital economy with international money transactions.

The leadership and vision have been led by Wale Oyewo, who also is in charge of the business as its CEO and co-founder. Oyewo has more than ten years of technical delivery and project management experience from Lloyds Banking Group and Bank of America, among other large financial organisations. 

Since its founding in 2022, TetradPay has quickly developed into a reliable multi-currency platform that helps millions of people and companies handle and transfer money internationally. The company’s desire to promote accessibility and innovation in Africa’s digital economy is demonstrated by its involvement in Lagos Tech Fest.

Lagos Tech Fest, now in its sixth year, continues to be a leading forum for bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, business executives, and legislators to influence Nigeria’s digital future. In order to promote cooperation and forward-thinking ideas that are essential to Africa’s development, the festival included roundtables, exhibitions, panel discussions, and networking events.

Mr Wale Oyewo, CEO of TetradPay, led a discussion on growing African fintech businesses globally, which was a major highlight of the event. He talked about the structural underpinnings of sustainable growth, such as operational effectiveness, infrastructural resilience, cross-border payment complexity, and regulatory navigation.

Oyewo emphasised that African fintechs must innovate with global benchmarks in mind, saying, “Building systems designed for interoperability, compliance, and international standards from inception is essential for long-term global competitiveness.”

At their stand, TetradPay’s crew interacted with tech enthusiasts, business owners, and startup founders throughout the festival, igniting conversations about multi-currency accounts, smooth cross-border transactions, and how technology can streamline international financial exchanges. Attendees’ keen attention demonstrated the rising need for safe, open, and easily accessible financial instruments.

TetradPay continues to offer safe, scalable payment infrastructure that boosts operational effectiveness as African companies traverse more interconnected marketplaces. The four pillars of the company’s strategy, security, accessibility, innovation, and empowerment, ensure that people and businesses can handle their money with assurance in a quickly changing digital environment.

“TetradPay is dedicated to providing financial solutions that enable businesses to prosper both domestically and globally,” Oyewo continued.

A fintech technology called TetradPay was created to make international money transfers affordable, equitable, and easy. The platform lets people and companies send, receive, hold, and manage money in over 20 countries around the world with its multi-currency accounts. TetradPay enables businesses navigating Africa’s digital economy to function with confidence by fusing safe technology with strong cross-border capabilities.

TetradPay’s approach is based on four main pillars under Oyewo’s direction: 

• Security: Using strong risk and governance structures to guarantee secure financial management.
• Accessibility: Providing tools that are transparent and easy to use for a wide range of customers.
• Innovation: Creating robust systems that are built from the ground up with interoperability and international standards in mind.
• Empowerment: giving companies the confidence to compete in both home and international markets.

TetradPay’s offerings and capabilities of services make transfers easy, mostly between Nigeria, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Important characteristics include:

• Accounts with different currencies allow users to send, receive, hold, and manage funds in many jurisdictions.
• Cost and Speed: The platform prioritises quick transactions with affordable upfront fees and competitive exchange rates.
• Operational Services: It provides Tetrad Business, an acquiring service that enables merchants to collect payments and has a micro-shop function for product sales, as well as Tetrad Remit for international transfers.
• Compliance: HMRC oversees the platform’s anti-money laundering operations, while the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates it.

TetradPay took part in the just-concluded Lagos Tech Fest in February 2026 as an associate sponsor, where the CEO, Wale Oyewo, presented a discussion on the structural prerequisites for expanding African fintechs globally during this event, stressing the importance of infrastructural resilience, regulatory navigation, and adherence to international standards.
