Juicyway, a Nigeria-based fintech startup, aims to establish itself as a leading payment platform by enabling individuals and businesses to send, receive, and store foreign currencies through a single interface.
Founded in 2021 by Ife Johnson, Justin Ziegler, and Idris Ibrahim, Juicyway addresses common constraints across African markets, including limited access to U.S. dollar liquidity, unfavorable exchange rates, and lengthy international payment delays.
The platform offers a mobile app available on iOS and Android, which has already surpassed 10,000 downloads, according to Play Store data.
Juicyway allows users to open multi-currency accounts—including the naira, U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, and euro—as well as cryptocurrency wallets. Customers can receive international payments directly into their own U.S. or Canadian dollar accounts, simplifying invoicing for overseas transactions.
The app also supports sending funds and converting currencies at competitive rates within the same ecosystem.
“We identified a clear gap for a B2B-focused payment and exchange platform capable of offering U.S. dollar accounts in company names for international receivables, providing competitive FX conversions through regulated liquidity providers, and enabling instant settlements via stablecoins and fiat rails,” said Ife Johnson in an interview with Disrupt Africa.
Juicyway differentiates itself through the integration of payment, foreign exchange, and stablecoin infrastructures, designed to streamline international settlements.
The company claims to have processed over $1 billion in transaction volume and serves a growing client base exceeding 12,000 enterprises.
With its unified approach to currency management and international transactions, Juicyway positions itself as a single gateway for cross-border payments, foreign currency reception, and multi-currency account management.
The startup’s expansion underscores Africa’s accelerating shift toward digital finance solutions and its increasing reliance on fintech innovation to overcome currency and liquidity challenges.
