TetradPay has stated the importance of building African fintech companies with global ambitions beyond local markets.
The firm said this at Lagos Tech Fest 2026, highlighting a broader conversation shaping Africa’s technology ecosystem, spanning from how homegrown fintechs can successfully expand beyond domestic markets while remaining compliant, resilient, and competitive.
Wale Oyewo, chief executive officer of TetradPay’s said there are realities of scaling African fintech companies internationally while remaining compliant, resilient, and competitive.
“African fintechs seeking long-term growth must design for scale from the outset, embedding interoperability, regulatory compliance, and global standards into their products rather than treating expansion as an afterthought,” Oyewo said.

He outlined the structural and operational challenges that often limit expansion, which include fragmented regulations, cross-border payment frictions, and infrastructure gaps. Oyewo noted that building trust across markets requires robust systems that can withstand regulatory scrutiny while delivering seamless user experiences.

With Africa’s tech ecosystem maturing and more startups targeting international markets, TetradPay noted that it remains focused on delivering secure, scalable infrastructure that enables businesses to expand confidently beyond national borders while staying rooted in the continent’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
TetradPay’s engagement includes discussions on multi-currency accounts, transparent international transfers, and the role of technology in reducing the complexity of operating across multiple jurisdictions.
