• SupraPay provides African freelancers, creators, consultants and businesses with dedicated dollar and euro banking details to facilitate international payments.

• Jonathan Tchuente, a Cameroonian software engineer and DevSecOps specialist, co-founded the fintech platform in 2024.

Cameroonian entrepreneur and technology expert Jonathan Tchuente is the co-founder of SupraPay, an innovative financial platform designed to help freelancers, content creators, consultants and businesses across Africa receive payments from overseas with greater ease and reliability.

Founded in 2024, SupraPay targets professionals who work with international clients or rely on global freelance platforms. The platform supports a wide range of payment flows, including advertising revenue, direct contracts with clients outside Africa and services related to managing remote teams.

To facilitate these transactions, SupraPay assigns dedicated international banking details in U.S. dollars or euros to each user. The system allows African beneficiaries to receive transfers as if they held local bank accounts in those currency zones, removing traditional barriers to cross-border commerce.

Once users receive funds, the platform converts the money and transfers it directly to local mobile money services. SupraPay provides transparent transaction tracking and fast execution. The company says it processes most withdrawals in less than one hour.

Jonathan Tchuente trained as a software engineer at the Institut Universitaire de la Côte in Cameroon. He built extensive technical expertise throughout his career and currently serves as a Development, Security and Operations (DevSecOps) engineer at ZedPay, a technology company based in Niger.

Tchuente began his professional career in 2020 at Jaba Space, a collaborative hub for entrepreneurs, where he worked as a Development and Operations (DevOps) engineer. He subsequently expanded his experience and applied his expertise across several technology-focused organizations.

He later held DevOps engineering roles at financial platform Payunit, software engineering company Zerofiltre and the PKFokam Research Center, a center of excellence focused on technology research and innovation.
