Celebrating its fifth year, Apex Network, one of Nigeria’s leading financial technology and digital asset firms, has once again affirmed its dedication to the growth of the Nigerian Fintech landscape. The company, founded in 2020, has unrelentingly continued to empower millions of users globally through seamless trading of cryptocurrencies, gift cards, and other digital assets. Since the company began operating, it has ensured financial inclusion for everyone through innovative fintech solutions. 

Its fifth anniversary event in Lagos went beyond just celebration and took a step into further exploring the African Digital Economy. Welcoming some of the finest entrepreneurs and tech leaders from across the nation, the event was themed “The African Digital Economy: Building the Infrastructure for the Next Billion Users.” 

It featured various speakers, including entrepreneurs and CEOs such as Adewale Yusuf, CEO and Co-Founder of AltSchool Africa; Joy Alabi-Hundeyin, Apex’s Head of People and Operations; and others. The event and its theme focused on driving inclusive growth with scalable systems and a policy framework globally. 

Apex founder and CEO, Abraham Efemena, one of the many speakers, recounted that the company was committed to simplifying digital finances, not just for Nigerians, but for Africans at large. He continued by affirming that users can make steady income streams on the platform. 

“Our platform allows you to earn decently if you familiarise yourself with the market and make the best investment decision.” 

On the aspect of leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence, he said AI is revolutionising digital platforms. 

“AI is making complex information simple and granting more access to it,” he added. 

He reassured users of their commitment to safety and protection on the platform by saying that the Securities and Exchange Commission is “working on crypto licensing.” 

Since its inception, Apex Network has spent years building an accessible ecosystem for cryptocurrency adoption and ownership. The company continues to enjoy unprecedented growth, evolving from a visionary startup into one of the most reliable fintech platforms. 

The CEO explained that Apex is operational across seven countries in Africa, serving millions of users, and is working towards assessing compliance requirements in other locations. However, he advised innovators on prioritising the establishment of local products before aiming for international levels.

Apex Engineering Manager, Mr. James John, applauded the role of tech in entertainment. Mr. John stated that Apex Network will develop a business suite for receiving payments through various channels, including crypto. He also acknowledged how AI has impacted creativity by reshaping it. 

“AI makes prompt and idea generation more effective,” he added. He summarised that with Apex, individuals in Nigeria can experience and take active ownership of crypto and other digital assets, among other solutions. He concluded by affirming that the company is committed to understanding everyone’s digital needs and ensuring users and their transactional activities are safe. 

Apex Network’s Marketing Manager, Mr. Gbenga Ogunbiyi, said that platforms with a huge number of users must leverage top-notch cybersecurity architecture to secure and protect their systems and users from cyber theft. 

He encouraged creators to continue showcasing their work on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, without worrying about traditional barriers, as Apex Network is currently developing more solutions for them. 

“Don’t stop building, you will achieve all your dreams one day,” he said.

The event showed Apex Network’s commitment to digital growth in Nigeria and its dedication to driving innovation, financial inclusion, and digital empowerment across Africa.
