Pick your path.

Two products. Same regulatory backbone, same rails underneath. Pick the one that fits how you move money.

Swappr

For businesses

Swappr

B2B cross-border disbursement platform. Multi-currency wallets, instant payouts, and an API your engineers will actually want to integrate. Built for remittance businesses, aggregators, marketplaces, and anyone moving money to recipients at scale.

Pouch

For individuals

Pouch

A modern way to send and spend money across borders. Built for individuals and families who need cross-border payments to feel as simple as a text message.

Why Technest

The foundation beneath everything.

Licensed and regulated

Approvals from the central banks of the markets we operate in, partnerships with regulated institutions everywhere else. Compliance isn't a footnote. It's the foundation we build on.

Data protection by default

NDPR-certified, GDPR-aligned, and compliant with the Nigerian Data Protection Act 2023. Your data, your customers' data, handled the way regulators actually require.

Built for scale

The same infrastructure runs our consumer app and our enterprise platform. What we ship is tested by both audiences before it reaches yours.

Local roots, regional reach

Headquartered in Lagos, operating across Africa, building for a continent where cross-border money movement still costs too much and takes too long.

Regulated, end-to-end.

Money movement only works when every party in the chain is regulated. We hold approvals in Nigeria and Kenya, and partner with regulated institutions in every other market we serve. More reach, same compliance posture, both products.

From a developer's first API call to a family's first remittance.

Our customers range from remittance businesses processing payouts across multiple corridors, to aggregators routing flows through our APIs, to NGOs disbursing aid, to individuals sending money to relatives. Different use cases, same expectations: it should work, it should be safe, and it shouldn't take a week.
