The story
Netcom Africa began in 2004 as an ISP delivering satellite, fiber and radio-based connectivity to Nigerian enterprises. Over two decades it evolved into a managed service provider (MSP) offering enterprise security, cloud, managed IT, IT outsourcing and infrastructure services. The company has no visible embedded-finance product or fintech pivot — it operates as a B2B IT services vendor.
