Crypto Payment Gateway for Jos
A crypto payment gateway lets merchants accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, with instant conversion to fiat if required. For Jos clients we usually begin with compliance (wallet screening, travel rule and reports) and merchant onboarding, then add checkout & plugins and stablecoin rails. Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.
Digital Wallet & E-Wallet App for Jos
A digital wallet app stores money or payment credentials so users can pay, transfer and top up from their phone. For Jos clients we usually begin with bill payments (utilities, mobile recharge and subscriptions) and ledger & reconciliation, then add kyc tiers and p2p & qr payments. Typical first release: 12–20 weeks.

A remittance app lets users send money abroad to bank accounts, mobile wallets or cash-pickup points. For Jos clients we usually begin with aml & screening (sanctions, PEP and transaction monitoring) and treasury, then add sender app and corridor engine. Typical first release: 14–22 weeks.
SaaS MVP Development for Jos
A SaaS MVP is the smallest version of a subscription software product that proves customers will use and pay for it. For Jos clients we usually begin with discovery sprint (user stories, scope and success metrics) and ux prototype, then add multi-tenant core and billing. Typical first release: 8–12 weeks.
Example project in Jos
Picture a remittances business in Jos that needs a crypto payment gateway. Discovery and a clickable prototype take about two weeks; the first release — compliance, merchant onboarding and checkout & plugins — follows in 10–16 weeks.
Customers pay with USSD, personal data is handled under Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, the product is hosted on Johannesburg or EU regions, and the team reviews authorisation rate and cost per transaction every month.
