Lagos, Nigeria — July 4, 2025
In a historic moment for Nigeria’s digital economy, Transactpay has unveiled the first-ever Payment Apron in Nigeria— a revolutionary product designed to bring hands-free, battery-free digital payments to the streets, stalls, and corners where trade truly happens.
Launched at Transactpay NEXT, the company’s inaugural product unveiling and anniversary event, the Transactpay Payment Apron is built for the everyday merchant — the roadside food seller, the market woman, the tailor, the kiosk owner — anyone who trades with their hands but struggles to get paid digitally without owning a POS, smartphone, or reliable electricity.
“We didn’t build just another fintech product, we built a bridge,” said Ernest Obi, Co-founder and CEO of Transactpay. “The Transactpay Payment Apron is our way of removing friction from the places where trade lives. It’s time digital payments met Nigerians where they are.”
The apron features:
A merchant-specific QR code that’s either connected to their Transactpay Catalog (free online store) or just their Transactpay Payment Link to accept payments.
With this innovation, Transactpay is solving a long-ignored problem: How do informal businesses get paid digitally without expensive devices or daily power? The Payment Apron answers with a tool that is:
Affordable
Always-on
Built for Nigeria’s street-level economy
💡 Why It Matters
In a time when fintech has focused on flashy apps and digital dashboards, the Payment Apron puts dignity, simplicity, and utility at the heart of innovation.
It’s not just a product.
It’s a movement — to bring digital payments to the traders who have long powered Nigeria’s economy but remained on the margins of the digital revolution.
📦 Availability
The Payment Apron is now available for verified merchants on www.transactpay.ai. Limited units are being distributed as part of Transactpay’s “Trade, Not Just Tech” initiative — designed to build tools that grow businesses, not just balance sheets.
