About us

We built the account we wanted to use.

LinkPay began with one frustration: money moved slowly, and nobody could tell you where it was. So we built a single account that sends, pays and saves — and shows you every step of it as it happens.

What we are for

Most people do not want a bank. They want the five or six things a bank is for — to hold money, move it, pay a bill, split a cost, save towards something — to take seconds and never surprise them.

That is the whole product, and it is the test every feature has to pass. If an idea does not make one of those moves faster or clearer, it does not ship, however good it looks in a demo.

We are a technology company working with a CBN-licensed partner bank. Your deposits sit with a regulated institution; the experience around them is ours to keep sharpening.

Three things we hold to.

Money you can see
Every movement is named, timestamped and searchable the moment it happens. No pending limbo, no calling a line to ask where it went.
Fast, and careful with it
Transfers settle in seconds over the same rails the banks use, with device-level checks on anything that does not look like you.
Built for how people pay
Rent split four ways. A cousin's school fees. Data before Monday. We build for the payments people actually make, not the ones a product plan imagines.

How we got here.

  1. 2019

    Two people and a spreadsheet

    We spent a year mapping why a transfer between two Nigerian banks could take a working day to appear, and what it would take to fix.

  2. 2021

    The account opens

    Our partner bank arrangement went live and the first customers moved real money through LinkPay.

  3. 2023

    Bills, in seconds

    Electricity, cable, data and school fees joined the account, so paying a bill stopped meaning switching apps.

  4. 2025

    Saving together

    Groups arrived: a shared target, visible contributions, and nobody left chasing anyone else for their share.
