Adaeze Okonkwo
Group Chief Executive
Twenty-two years in correspondent banking across Lagos, London and Singapore. Led the treasury rebuild that became this platform.
That is still the discipline. Every balance reconciles to a ledger row, every cross-border instruction shows its clearance, and nothing settles that cannot be explained afterwards.
Our story
We were a correspondent desk before we were a bank, which is why the ledger came first and the interface came second.
2007
Opened as a correspondent settlement desk serving four currencies and eleven institutional clients.
2013
Extended into personal and business banking, with the tiered verification model still in use today.
2018
Began custody of digital assets and launched collateralised lending against them.
2022
Published the wire clearance chain to customers — every stage, every levy, visible while funds sit in escrow.
2026
Nine currencies, four digital assets, one hundred and eighty settlement corridors.
Leadership
Six names, and what each of them owns. If something on this platform goes wrong, one of these desks answers for it.

Chief Risk Officer
Former regulator. Sets the clearance thresholds and owns the tiering model that decides what every account may move.
Head of Wealth
Runs the fixed-term book and the collateralised credit desk. Publishes the rates you see, and defends them.
Head of Operations
Owns settlement. If a wire is sitting in escrow at three in the morning, his desk is the one that moves it.
Chief Technology Officer
Built the ledger. Holds the line that every movement of money writes a row that can be read back years later.
Head of Client Service
Every mandate gets a named banker. He is the reason that is a promise rather than a marketing line.
How we operate
Immutable ledger
Balances are derived from entries, never edited in place. A reversal posts a contra entry so the history stays readable.
No silent holds
When an instruction is held, you are told which stage, what it costs and who to contact — while the funds sit in escrow.
Named, not pooled
Client service is staffed by people who keep their clients, so you are not re-explaining yourself each time.
Open an account, or ask us the awkward questions first — we would rather answer them.
