A DIGITAL marketplace firm, Capsa Technology, has been named a finalist in the Afreximbank Flagship Accelerator Programme. Out of a rigorous global field of 1,600+ high-growth ventures, Capsa was selected as one of only eight companies positioned to fundamentally reshape trade integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

The selection, announced by the Afreximbank, signals to the global investment community that Capsa is a critical infrastructure player in solving Africa’s $120 billion trade finance gap.

While traditional banking structures often struggle with the complexities of SME credit, Capsa has successfully productized Factoring, a $3 trillion global industry, for the African context. By allowing businesses to sell their verified invoices to a pool of institutional and private investors, Capsa creates a high-velocity capital cycle that bypasses traditional collateral bottlenecks.

CEO & Co-Founder of Capsa, Mustapha Suberu, said: “This is more than recognition; it is a strategic alignment. Afreximbank’s mandate to deepen intra-African trade requires a robust liquidity bridge. Capsa is that bridge. We are taking factoring mainstream to ensure that the ‘waiting game’ for payments no longer stifles African industrialisation.”
As the AfCFTA gains momentum, the demand for cross-border liquidity will explode. Capsa’s selection by Afreximbank places the company at the centre of this transition, granting it unparalleled access to continental trade networks and regulatory support.

CCO & Co-Founder, Segun Dada, added: “Through access to timely liquidity, we are disrupting the status quo and giving businesses the power to not only choose growth but accelerate it.

“We aren’t just financing businesses; we are accelerating the velocity of money across the entire value chain and enabling tangible impact for the people and the environment.”
