OjirehPrime raised $1,240,000 backed by Ex-Interswitch Board Chairman

I am super excited to inform you that we have just closed our pre-seed round and raised $1,240,000 in funding from some of the finest investors any startup could ask for. This round was led by former Interswitch Board Chairman Adedotun Sulaiman, with participation from former Heritage Bank Director Mrs. Mary Akpobome, as well as UK-based accelerator CPRES203 and a number of angel investors.

It’s been a long and exciting journey for us at OjirehPrime, bootstrapping every milestone from operating as a prepaid card focused fintech, organically scaling to 40,000 users of our prepaid card, acquiring a microfinance bank, launching our mobile app, scaling to 450,000 users, and now closing our pre-seed funding.

The journey itself taught me the value of tenacity, as the old adage goes, “where there is a will, there is a way.” This opens us up to a whole new phase as we would be able to attract more talents, drive increased marketing, create better experience and better position the brand for scale. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. Thank you to our customers who believed in us despite our bumpy start.

For us, we’re just getting started.

With thanks

Edoka Idoko
