Nairobi, Kenya, January 22 2026 — Yogupay, a leading cross-border payments and settlement infrastructure provider, today announced the appointment of Kevin Kigima Ng’ang’a as its incoming Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). The appointment marks a significant milestone as the company scales its mission to eradicate financial borders and enable seamless global trade for African businesses.
Kevin brings over 20 years of senior commercial and payments leadership experience across fintech, cross-border payments, trade finance, FX, and emerging-market financial infrastructure, with a deep focus on Africa-to-global trade corridors. He has held senior leadership roles at global and regional payments and financial services firms, including serving as Country Lead for a regulated cross-border payments fintech, while also advising and building ventures across structured trade finance and financial market infrastructure in Africa and international markets.
As CCO, Kevin will lead Yogupay’s commercial strategy, including market expansion, liquidity development, and strategic partnerships. He will also ensure strong alignment between product, sales, and customer outcomes across all markets. A key focus of his mandate will be the development and launch of innovative credit and settlement products that enable businesses to manage cash flow more effectively while trading across borders.
“Yogupay isn’t just moving money, it’s building the infrastructure required to settle trade instantly,” said Kevin Kigima Ng’ang’a.
“Having personally managed imports from markets like China and Jordan, I understand that speed, liquidity, and transparency are just as critical as price. Yogupay is solving the real friction points that I have navigated as a business owner, and I’m excited to help scale a solution the market truly needs.”
Kevin joins Yogupay at a pivotal moment for African trade. While intra-Africa and global trade volumes continue to grow, traditional banking rails remain slow, fragmented, andcapital-intensive. With the emergence of digital settlement layers and stablecoin-enabled infrastructure, Yogupay is well positioned to lead a new era of instant, trusted trade settlement.
The company is FINTRAC-licensed and operationally ready to scale across key global trade corridors.
“Liquidity friction remains one of the most critical challenges facing African importers and exporters,” Kevin added. “Access to the right currency at the right time can determine whether a trade succeeds or fails. At Yogupay, we are building solutions that ensure businesses never miss opportunities due to slow or inefficient banking processes.”
Through its platform, Yogupay empowers African businesses and corporations to reduce payment delays, lower transaction costs, and improve working capital efficiency when trading with key markets such as China, LATAM and Europe, effectively giving businesses a margin boost and a competitive edge in global commerce.
