Nairobi, Kenya — January 22, 2026
YoguPay is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Kigima Ng’ang’a as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), reinforcing the company’s commitment to building the infrastructure that enables seamless global trade for African businesses.
Kevin joins YoguPay with more than 20 years of leadership experience across fintech, cross-border payments, foreign exchange, trade finance, and emerging-market financial infrastructure. His career has been deeply rooted in strengthening Africa-to-global trade corridors, where speed, liquidity, and regulatory precision are critical to commercial success.
He has held senior leadership roles within regulated cross-border payments institutions and has advised and built ventures spanning structured trade finance and financial market infrastructure across Africa and international markets.
As Chief Commercial Officer, Kevin will lead YoguPay’s commercial strategy across key markets, driving market expansion, liquidity development, strategic partnerships, and revenue growth. He will also oversee alignment between product innovation and customer outcomes, ensuring that YoguPay’s solutions directly address the operational realities of businesses trading across borders.
A central focus of his mandate will be the development and launch of innovative credit and settlement solutions designed to improve working capital efficiency and enable businesses to execute cross-border transactions with greater confidence and predictability.
“YoguPay is not simply moving money, it is building the settlement infrastructure required to power modern trade,” said Kevin Kigima Ng’ang’a. “Having personally managed imports from markets such as China and Jordan, I understand firsthand how delays in liquidity and settlement can disrupt real businesses. YoguPay is addressing those structural friction points, and I am excited to help scale solutions that the market urgently needs.”
Kevin’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for African trade. While trade volumes across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America continue to expand, traditional banking rails remain fragmented, slow, and capital-intensive. Businesses often face liquidity bottlenecks, foreign exchange delays, and limited access to predictable settlement mechanisms.
As a FINTRAC-licensed institution, YoguPay is operationally positioned to scale across critical global trade corridors. By combining regulatory compliance, deep liquidity access, and modern digital settlement infrastructure, the company is advancing a new standard for instant, transparent, and trusted cross-border trade settlement.
“Liquidity friction remains one of the most significant constraints facing African importers and exporters,” Kevin added. “Access to the right currency at the right time can determine whether a transaction succeeds or fails. At YoguPay, we are building infrastructure that ensures businesses never lose opportunity because of inefficient settlement systems.”
Through its platform, YoguPay enables African businesses and corporations to reduce transaction delays, lower cross-border payment costs, and strengthen working capital performance when trading with key global markets including China, Latin America, and Europe. The result is improved margin efficiency, faster settlement cycles, and stronger competitive positioning in international commerce.
