The Problem

Bill payments in Nigeria meant juggling multiple apps, each with unreliable uptime and failed transactions that took days to resolve.

The Solution

Built a unified platform with automatic retry logic, real-time transaction status, and instant refunds for failures. Integrated multiple payment providers with automatic failover.

Technical Challenges

1

Building reliable integrations with APIs that had inconsistent uptime

2

Implementing automatic failover when primary payment providers went down

3

Designing reconciliation systems that caught discrepancies before they became customer complaints
