Nigerian fintech company, 1app Technologies Inc., has been recognised for its contributions to regulatory innovation and financial inclusion at the 2026 RegTech Africa Conference & Expo held at the State House Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The conference, themed “Building Trust, Infrastructure and Policy for a Borderless Africa,brought together policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, technology companies, investors and other industry stakeholders to examine the future of Africa’s digital economy and financial ecosystem.

1app participated in the conference as an exhibitor, where it showcased its growing range of financial solutions aimed at improving access to affordable, secure and borderless financial services for individuals and businesses across Africa.

Among the solutions demonstrated were services that enable users to access USD, EUR and GBP accounts, receive and send money internationally, make cross-border payments, use virtual and physical dollar cards, and convert digital assets into local currencies.

The company said its offerings attracted significant interest from participants, including business leaders, innovators and other stakeholders seeking solutions to some of the barriers limiting access to global financial services.

Beyond its exhibition activities, 1app also contributed to discussions around the future of financial technology and regulation in Africa.

The company’s Executive Director, Dr. Obioha Oti, moderated one of the high-level panel sessions at the conference, which brought together key stakeholders to discuss innovation, regulation and the evolving financial technology landscape across the continent.

Speaking on the recognition, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of 1app Technologies Inc., Opeyemi Paul Adekunle, said the award would encourage the company to continue developing solutions that reduce barriers to financial access.

“This recognition validates our mission at 1app. We believe Africans should not be limited by borders when accessing financial opportunities. Whether you are a freelancer, entrepreneur, creator, or business owner, you should have the tools to participate in the global economy,” Adekunle said.


He said the company’s focus goes beyond developing a conventional fintech application, stressing its ambition to build infrastructure capable of connecting African individuals and businesses to opportunities in the global economy.

“At 1app, we are not just building another fintech application; we are building financial infrastructure that enables Africans to pay, get paid, and grow globally,” he added.


The recognition comes as 1app continues to expand its financial technology ecosystem through its consumer platform, 1app, and its business-focused solution, Boldd.

While 1app provides individuals with access to global accounts, international payments, virtual cards and other digital financial services, Boldd is designed to support businesses with payment acceptance, global accounts, card issuance and financial service integration through APIs.

The company said the growth reflects increasing demand for digital financial solutions capable of supporting Africans participating in both local and international markets.
