Building the investment infrastructure Africa deserves
Inopay was born from one simple observation: Africa's capital markets work, but access remains blocked for the diaspora and too expensive to digitise for each SGI (licensed broker) on its own. We're building the common layer no one owns.
Our mission
Make the BRVM, BVMAC and GSE accessible from anywhere in the world, with the same confidence a Paris-based investor places in Euronext. To get there, we made one decision up front: never become a broker. Inopay is a neutral infrastructure every licensed SGI can integrate, and every investor can use to manage their entire African securities portfolio from a single place.
We believe African capital must remain in African licensed hands — the existing SGIs and central depositaries. Our job is to modernise the rails that connect them to their current and future clients, without ever competing with their core business.
What guides us
We never hold funds
Your cash and securities stay with your licensed SGI. We build rails, not vaults. This rule is non-negotiable and shapes every product decision.
We open, we don't close
The Inopay API is publicly documented. The Trust Registry is open. The sandbox is accessible without signup. KYC standards are shareable with regulators.
We favour no SGI
No exclusivity, no hidden referral fees. Investors freely choose their SGI. Our only selection criterion: an active CREPMF, COSUMAF or SEC Ghana licence.
Our trajectory
Idea and first conversations
Initial convictions formed through repeated discussions with French-speaking diaspora investors and SGI executives based in Abidjan, Dakar and Douala.
Founding
Inopay Group SARL incorporated in Côte d'Ivoire, with Abidjan chosen as headquarters. Technical architecture defined around the non-custodial principle and portable KYC.
First SGI letters of intent
Letters of intent signed with partner SGIs to begin integrating the unified KYC infrastructure and the order-routing API.
Platform in the works
Public sandbox opening, OpenAPI technical documentation, and the first pilot cohort of diaspora investors.
CREPMF roadmap
Filing of a licence application with the CREPMF for mutualised KYC and order-routing services. Progressive expansion to BVMAC and GSE.
