financial platform, designed to give crypto users the kind of complete,
seamless financial experience that has long been available to
traditional banking customers but has remained out of reach for those
operating in digital assets.
For most crypto users today, managing money means managing several
applications at once. One app to hold or save assets, another to spend
them, another to send across borders, and another to trade or invest.
And despite years of on-chain financial activity, most users have
nothing to show for it when it comes to accessing credit. Transactions
that would build financial history and unlock borrowing power in a
traditional system are invisible to the institutions that decide who
gets access to credit. NectarFi was built to replace that fragmented and
unrewarding reality with a single, coherent experience.
Before opening to the public, the company spent months building and
refining its platform in private access, onboarding over 1,000 users
across Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil,
and Argentina. That period allowed the team to test real financial
behaviour across diverse markets and build toward a launch experience
grounded in how people actually use money globally.
The platform gives users a complete financial toolkit in one place. They
can hold and manage digital assets in a self-custodial wallet, spend via
VISA cards and global payment rails, trade crypto without gas fee
constraints, and invest in tokenised stocks alongside traditional crypto
assets. Users can also transact across bank transfer systems in Nigeria,
PIX in Latin America, APACA scan in Southeast Asia, and Swift
internationally. Blockchain operations run in the background on
user-controlled infrastructure, with a familiar interface that requires
no complex wallet knowledge to navigate.
Critically, NectarFi is also working toward making on-chain financial
history count. The platform is designed to recognise the transaction
activity users have already built, laying the foundation for credit
access that reflects the financial lives crypto users are actually
living rather than the ones legacy systems were built to see. Supporting
features include in-app communication and financial planning tools.
The platform is designed with security and responsible access as
foundational priorities, aligned with evolving regulatory frameworks
across its operating regions. NectarFi is built on Solana and works with
infrastructure partners including Perena, Raincards, Xstocks, Ondo,
Jupiter and Privy, and has processed over $7.2 million in transaction
volume since beginning private access. The company has raised $170,000
in early funding to support product development and expansion.
Commenting on the launch, Founder and CEO Felix Daniel said, “Crypto
users have been spending, saving, and transacting for years with nothing
to show for it when they need credit or a complete financial experience.
We built NectarFi to change that. From PIX in Brazil to bank transfers
in Nigeria to Swift globally, this is one app that works wherever you
do.”
COO and Co-founder Stephanie Okeke added, “Most people do not think
about the pipes that move water through their homes. They just turn on
the tap. We built NectarFi so that crypto users can finally have that
same experience with their money, powerful infrastructure working
quietly underneath a financial life that actually makes sense.”
NectarFi is now available globally, with plans to expand its full
feature set across regions over time.
