About VigiVend
Building absolute trust in digital payments across Africa's informal economy.
Our Mission
"To eradicate digital payment anxiety in Africa's informal economy by providing frictionless, secure transaction verification."
The Problem
Every year, African merchants lose billions to fake alerts and manipulated receipts. POS agents and social media vendors are constantly targeted by fraudsters who forge transfer notifications, manipulate screenshots, and exploit the trust gap in digital payments.
Without a reliable way to verify transfers instantly, businesses are forced to choose between losing sales by demanding confirmation or risking fraud by accepting unverified alerts. This digital payment anxiety stifles commerce and hurts the informal economy that drives much of Africa's growth.
