The man who scaled two Nigerian digital banks <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Segun Adeyemo has been behind some of Nigeria’s most visible digital banking growth stories, even if his name doesn’t always come up first.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
From helping Sterling Bank’s GoMoney find product-market fit to scaling Kuda Bank into a mass-market name, his work has quietly shaped how millions of Nigerians interact with digital finance.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Segun’s path into tech and banking was built on years of early exposure to computers, cybercafes, and digital communication work across travel, fashion, and agency roles. By the time he joined Sterling Bank in 2020, right in the middle of COVID-19, he had a sharp understanding of user behaviour and growth. At GoMoney, that translated into renewed traction. At Kuda, it meant scaling from roughly two million users to about five million and pushing the product beyond early adopters into everyday use.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today, he runs Sava Global, once a growth marketing agency and now as a venture studio. The goal is to help African startups scale intentionally and build products that directly address gaps in the ecosystem. One of those products, Traveler, is focused on making cross-border travel more accessible for young Africans.<br />
