ABOUT

We're building the operating system for Nigerian life.

A team of 38, based in Lagos and Abuja. Backed by Future Africa, Y Combinator, and the people who built the apps you already use.

OUR STORY

In 2024 our CEO needed to send rent, top up his sister's airtime, pay DStv, and renew a SIM — all between two meetings. He used five apps, a USSD code, and lost ₦650 in transfer fees.

SwiftCom is what comes out of refusing to accept that as normal. We believe Nigerians deserve a single app that handles communication and money with the same speed and grace — built by people who actually live here. Not a wallet bolted onto a messenger. Not a chat plug-in on a banking app. One product. One vision. ₦ first.
