Payourse provides core Web3 infrastructure and tools focused on wallets, remittances, and liquidity to help African businesses build user-friendly crypto products. The company offers no-code products such as Simpa, which lets users launch a fully customizable crypto exchange within minutes. Payourse has chosen a liquidity-partner model (partnering with entities that provide liquidity) rather than peer-to-peer, enabling transactions to complete within minutes. The startup announced a parent company that will house all current and future products and is developing additional use cases to power crypto-enabled businesses. According to the firm, over 5,000 people are currently using the platform to transact millions of dollars; the payments platform grew by 15,000% in 2021 and showed a 150% growth rate. Founded in 2019 by Bashir Aminu and John Anisere and based in Lagos, Payourse plans to scale its products and expand into new markets.
