“Can a Nigerian crypto and gift-card exchange evolve into the cross-border consumer wallet of choice for Africa?”
Apex Network was founded in 2018 by Efemena Abraham as a Nigerian crypto and gift card exchange. It has expanded into a broader consumer fintech in Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Zambia) with utility bill payments, airtime top-ups and a virtual USD card for cross-border purchases. Its embedded finance footprint is narrow — largely a consumer wallet with a USD virtual card program — and there is no public disclosure of underlying BaaS/issuer partners.
Apex Network Limited processes payments through Apex Wallet (self-operated).
Apex Network Limited was founded by Efemena Abraham and is founded in 2018, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.
