Instance Introduces Groundbreaking Multicurrency Fintech Product to Bridge Inter-Africa Trade.
In the last couple of years, Nigerians and other African countries have moved from barely surviving the impact of Covid-19 to the plummeting price of dollars which is affecting our everyday life. On top of that, the cashless policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria to drive a financially inclusive economy has made it compelling for fintechs to introduce a simple, fast, transparent, and sustainable payment solution to lessen the burden of over dependence on payment infrastructure to drive financial services across all facets of the economy.
In June, 2022, Instance, (Registered as Fuspay Inc., Delaware, USA) raised an undisclosed pre-seed amount from Pacer Venture, a Canadian VC firm led by Domineum Blockchain Technology, UK. The aim is to deliver a product that will give the Africans ability to perform Within-African Trade through a single app.
The CEO of Instance, Charles Avis noted that the challenges faced by Africans recently on the adoption of alternative payments and instant access to payment services shows the intensity of how many are looking for alternative and stable financial products that will allow them to transact seamlessly. Beyond that, they are looking for a way to hedge against the current and ongoing inflation.
Instance is an all-in-one fintech platform dedicated to facilitating global financial inclusion by connecting all wallet providers together to create a more inclusive global payment ecosystem. According to an internal memo of Instance issued by Abiola Jimoh, Head of Business Growth, the company is highly excited to announce the launch of its product called “Instance App”.
