Dayfi Technologies Ltd

African money companies — so people can pay and move value simply

Dayfi is a holding company. We start products for African payments and digital assets. First product: Obba on WhatsApp. Dayfi itself is not the app — our companies are.

Our principles

How we choose what to build. Every Dayfi company — including Obba — is held to these standards.

Payments should keep pace with how Africa lives, works and trades — local currency, chat, and corridors people already use, without unnecessary friction.

Dayfi invents rails and products, then ships them as real companies — not slide decks. Obba is the first proof.

We design for African currencies, corridors and people first. What works here becomes technology the world can use.

Every Dayfi company is held to the same standard: open ownership, local and on-chain rails, and money that works for people — not gatekeepers.

Dayfi exists to birth real companies that carry the mission forward — give them room to grow, hold them to the standard, and let them serve people.

People together — Dayfi builds for communities across Africa

Our Story

Dayfi started from a simple job: make paying and moving money in Africa feel natural. We are the parent company. Obba on WhatsApp is our first product. Here is how that grew:

2026

Obba launches on WhatsApp

Dayfi’s first company — pay, receive, and manage digital assets in WhatsApp chat.

2025

Rails across Africa are live

Local rails and on-chain settlement with Yellow Card, Bridge and partners.

2024

Dayfi Technologies Ltd is founded

A holding company (RC 7280774) is formed to start African-first money companies.

2023

The Dayfi thesis is set

A parent company that builds African-first money companies — not Western copies.

2022

The founders partner

Builder and operator. Same conviction: money should feel like home in Africa.

Meet people where they pay

We design for streets, stalls and phones Africa already uses. Obba lives on WhatsApp — where money conversations already happen — so paying and sending does not start with an app-store maze.

See how we got here

Move money on real rails

Local currency in. Stablecoins and on-chain settlement when they help. Clear rates before you confirm. Trust is earned when a payment arrives — not when a pitch deck says so.

Ship companies, not decks

Dayfi is the parent. Operating companies like Obba are what people use. We ship in the channel they already open, then expand country by country when the rails are ready.
