Showcasing Pesa’s Fintech Leadership

A major highlight for us was the participation of our CEO and Co-Founder, Tolulope Osho, in a high-profile panel discussion on VC Funding in Africa. Speaking alongside industry leaders such as Dr. Dotun Olowoporoku (Ventures Platform), Satoshi Shinada (Verod-Kepple Africa Ventures), Fiyin Ogunlesi (TAG Africa), Yewande Adewusi (Alitheia), and Fola Olatunji-David (KickOff Africa), Tolu shared insights on the challenges faced by African startups in the current funding downturn. He discussed strategic approaches to navigating this landscape and identifying opportunities for sustainable growth to build a resilient startup ecosystem.

“For an early-stage startup, the priority should be shipping your product at the lowest possible cost. As a bootstrapped company, we haven’t felt the direct impact of the funding downturn, but we’ve stayed disciplined—reinvesting most of our earnings back into the business. Your revenue today should fuel your growth tomorrow. This approach has been key to driving the expansion we want at Pesa.” - Tolulope Osho.

Spotlighting Our Multicurrency Account: Zero Fees, Maximum Convenience

Lagos Tech Fest 2025 was the perfect stage to showcase our multicurrency account, which enables users to hold, send, and convert between NGN, GBP, USD, CAD, and EUR with zero transaction or conversion fees.
