I finally put together a summary of my experience at @solanaturbine , and it is an interesting read!  Whether you're planning to join the cohort, already in it, or not, I'm sure there's something you can learn from my experience. Give it a read, and feel free to ask me any questions and I got my certificate, yay! Link: dev.to/ladipo_samuel_7cfaa82…

Still in the news. After getting our MSB, we have started leveraging it exposure and potential to improve our business corridors, business model, and product type. At ImportaPay. Regulatory coverage means a lot to us, and therefore this is a great start to what else we will be capable of doing in the future 💜
We’re building cross-border payment infrastructure for businesses operating across markets. Our MSB registration in Canada is another step forward. More to come. #ImportaPay #Fintech

When we started ImportaPay, we kept hearing the same story from importers. Money stuck for days. Suppliers abroad losing patience. Goods waiting at ports while payments crawled through banks that didn't care. We knew we could fix it. We didn't know how hard it would be. The last few months tested us. Late nights reviewing compliance documents. Weeks of back-and-forth. Moments where it would have been easier to cut corners and just ship. We didn't. Because when an importer sends money through us, it's not just a transaction. It's their stock, their staff, their family's next meal. That trust deserves more than shortcuts. In September, we grew 2.5x from August. Today, I'm proud to share that ImportaPay is now registered with FINTRAC 🇨🇦 as a Money Services Business (MSB) To my team: you carried this when it was heavy. Thank you. To our customers: you believed in us early. This is for you. To partners and investors: we're building this the right way, and we're just getting started. Compliance isn't the finish line. It's the foundation.
ImportaPay has secured Money Services Business (MSB) registration in Canada. 🇨🇦 Another milestone in our journey to expand our reach and build cross-border payment infrastructure for businesses. And we are just getting started.

Replying to @realsimon
As of today Simon, @importapay_ng has processed over $300,000 worth of payment to china using stablecoins, in currency like CNY, and USD, pushing payment to rails like the bank, and Alipay in less then 3 month of launching our own rails. It interesting to discuss this with you.

Don’t wait until payment day to start planning. Know your supplier, currency, costs, and payment requirements before the transaction begins. Good preparation makes business payments easier to manage. Send us a DM today for your instant payment. #ImportaPay #BusinessPayments

Replying to @importapay_ng
@importapay_ng paused transactions in March to rebuild its outbound payments infrastructure. Since relaunching in July, the startup has crossed $700,000 in cumulative payment volume, recorded 300% growth in September and expanded its payment routes from 14 to 20. Now, its payment infrastructure is also available through an API for other fintech businesses. Read the full story on: africantechjournal.com/artic…

A clean MerjUp board can become a disaster surprisingly fast. One bad placement is sometimes all it takes 😭 Try it: merjup.com #MerjUp #MobileGaming

One bad drop can haunt five moves. Drop carefully, keep space open, and see how long you can hold the board together. Play MerjUp: merjup.com #MerjUp #PuzzleGame

From attending an academy cohort to speaking at the Valedictory session of that exact program a year after. You just gotta Build in public I truly hope you will have a go at difficult concepts, share what you found on the TL and keep at it. -> That’s the secret.
From learning with us to helping other devs learn. Our grad @inspiration_gx is back in the room, sharing what building in public taught him, his path through open source, and the workshops and educational initiatives he’s been part of along the way.

Classic gives you a target. Survival gives you one question: how long can you keep the board alive? No finish line. No level to clear. Just one bad drop waiting to ruin a very good run 😭 #MerjUp #MobileGaming
