Nigerian Fintech Founders reflects on Setting New Standards in a Global Economy

The financial technology landscape is witnessing a transformative shift with the launch of Platnova, a groundbreaking finance app designed to cater to the needs of today’s global citizens. Developed by two serial entrepreneurs Benjamin Oyemolan and Joshua Chinemezu, Platnova is positioned as a comprehensive solution that goes beyond traditional financial services, offering a wide range of features that redefine money management in a globalized economy.

At the core of Platnova’s appeal is its truly global multicurrency wallet. Unlike many of its competitors, which either restrict currency options or impose high fees, Platnova enables users to store, send, and receive multiple currencies seamlessly. “Using dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds, and other currencies no longer has to be a hassle,” said Oyemolan. “Platnova ensures seamless exchanges between these wallets, providing a level of financial agility that’s crucial in today’s interconnected world.”

One of the standout features of the app is its instant cryptocurrency swap capability. In an era where speed and security are often at odds, Platnova delivers both without compromise. “We wanted to create an experience where users could trade digital assets swiftly and securely,” Co-Founder and CTO Joshua Chinemezu noted. “Our platform’s user-friendly interface does just that, without sacrificing the safety that our users demand.”

Another key feature is the app’s flexibility in virtual card creation and funding. With the ability to create and fund multiple virtual cards directly from the multicurrency wallet, Platnova allows users to shop online securely and manage spending with ease. “Our virtual cards offer the best rates and ensure that transactions are both seamless and cost-effective,” Oyemolan added.

In addition to these innovative features, Platnova offers a wide array of services that further distinguish it from the competition. These include comprehensive bill payment options that span both local and global needs, competitive multi-currency savings plans, global airtime top-ups, and an extensive selection of local and international gift cards. The app also simplifies tuition and educational payments, making it an invaluable tool for students and parents worldwide.

Platnova’s physical cards, which are directly linked to users’ wallets, offer global access for purchases and ATM withdrawals, ensuring convenience and control wherever users go.

“Our mission is to empower users with tools that are not just functional but transformational,” said Joshua Chinemezu. “We’ve listened to the needs of consumers and created an app that offers unmatched flexibility, security, and global reach. With Platnova, you’re not just managing your finances—you’re redefining them.”

Platnova is available for download today on both iOS and Android devices, promising to set new standards in digital finance. As Oyemolan succinctly put it, “This is more than an app; it’s the future of finance.”
