Nine years ago, Jeremiah Mayowa founded Jeroid in a modest Lagos apartment with a singular vision: to make digital finance accessible to every African. Today, Jeroid stands as a premier crypto-tech powerhouse, celebrating nearly a decade of breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks in the continent’s evolving financial landscape.
From its origins as an Over-the-Counter (OTC) service on WhatsApp, Jeroid’s trajectory has been defined by rapid, deliberate technological advancement. The company transitioned to a mobile-first strategy in 2021 with the launch of its inaugural app. By 2023, the introduction of Jeroid V2 provided a high-performance, scalable platform that propelled the brand to new heights.
The platform’s excellence was recognized in 2024 with the prestigious BusinessDay Top SME 100 Award. Further distinguishing itself as a leader in security, Jeroid became the region’s first crypto platform to achieve ISO Certification—a standard of excellence successfully recertified in 2025. These milestones have culminated in a staggering $1 billion USD in total transaction volume, supported by over 500,000 users and 1 million monthly transactions. This momentum also saw Jeroid expand its footprint beyond Nigeria, officially launching operations in South Africa.
As it enters 2026, Jeroid remains at the forefront of the industry. The ecosystem recently expanded to support high-demand assets and networks, including USDT (BEP20), USDT (SOL), and BNB.
User protection is not left out of the company’s priorities. Jeroid achieved full Nigerian Data Protection (NDP) Compliance, reinforcing its commitment to data privacy.
Social impact remains a core pillar of the brand.
Reflecting on the milestone, CEO Jeremiah Mayowa stated: “These nine years show how strong our integrity is and how committed we are to building something real and lasting—not just a quick win. We’ve built a company with a solid foundation that will stand long after us.”
To commemorate this achievement, Jeroid has launched its Ninth Anniversary Promo. For the next two weeks, users can trade digital assets at the most competitive market rates available.
