Yannick De Gonzague aims to make financial services accessible to every business in Africa. His mission is clear: help companies manage payments simply, securely, and efficiently, no matter their size or sector.

De Gonzague, a key player in Côte d’Ivoire’s tech and finance ecosystem, founded Vision Digital Finance in 2024. The platform acts as a payment aggregator, enabling companies to send, receive, and control financial flows across more than 12 African countries.

Vision Digital Finance offers a wide range of services tailored to business needs. The platform supports multi-channel collection through mobile money, bank cards, transfers, and QR codes. It also provides international transfers, personalized virtual IBANs, real-time dashboards, and automation APIs to simplify accounting and transaction workflows.

The system handles over ten payment methods and supports more than six currencies, ensuring wide regional compatibility.

De Gonzague earned an engineering degree in network and systems administration in 2008 from ESTEM in Morocco. He started his career a year earlier, in 2007, at CodCom, a Moroccan IT firm, where he worked as customer service manager.

In 2009, he joined Access Bank Côte d’Ivoire as account manager for large enterprises. Three years later, he moved to UBA Bank as profit center manager.

By 2016, he transitioned into the tech-finance space, taking the role of marketing and partnership manager at NSIA Technologies, the tech arm of the NSIA banking group.

He then worked for leading fintech firms like Flutterwave, Wave Mobile Money, and Clapay, where he held senior roles including operations and partnerships manager, commercial development director, and operations director in Côte d’Ivoire.
