Vepay, a new cross-border digital payment platform, has officially launched its services in Nigeria and Kenya, offering individuals and freelancers across both countries a fast and reliable way to access and use virtual dollar cards for international transactions. With availability on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, Vepay is stepping into a space that has long needed practical solutions for Africans facing limitations in global payments.
Founded by Gbenga Agunbiade, the company was born out of a clear and pressing need: to enable seamless spending on international platforms without the roadblocks that many Africans face using local bank cards. With Vepay, users can easily fund their wallets in Naira or Kenyan Shillings, convert to USD at competitive rates, and instantly generate virtual cards for payments on platforms like IHS, SEVIS, IELTS, AWS, Spotify, Google Ads, Visa fee payments, and more.
The launch follows a successful ₦26.5 million naira funding round secured from private angel investors who are backing the company’s focused mission and future growth plans. This funding is being channeled into infrastructure development, regulatory compliance, and platform expansion. Vepay’s leadership has made it clear that while this initial rollout is focused on B2C users, including remote workers, digital creators, and online shoppers, the company intends to evolve into a B2B payment infrastructure provider in the near future – offering APIs and financial tools for African businesses to operate globally.
“Our motivation wasn’t to disrupt the market with buzzwords – it was to fix something broken,” said Gbenga Agunbiade, CEO at Vepay. “Millions of people just want to pay for services or run their businesses online without being blocked by their geography. Vepay gives them that freedom, and this launch is only the first step.”
Vepay is already processing transactions in Nigeria and Kenya, with plans underway to add support for more African currencies in the coming months. The app interface is designed for simplicity and speed, offering transparent exchange rates, a robust infrastructure, and reliable customer support.
To get started, users can download the Vepay app directly from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or visit www.vepayhq.com for more information. For partnership inquiries, media coverage, or investor-related questions, Vepay can be reached at hello@vepayhq.com.
Built by a team with deep expertise in fintech and digital infrastructure, Vepay combines speed, safety, and reliability—offering a modern solution for Africans who deserve seamless access to the global economy.
