Who we are

Built to move money the right way

Hayvora was built with a single purpose: to make cross-border payments simple, fast, and accessible for every business, everywhere.

Our story

Solving a problem we experienced firsthand

Cross-border payments have always been slow, expensive, and opaque, especially for businesses operating in and out of Africa. High fees, poor exchange rates, and compliance nightmares were the norm.

Hayvora was founded to change that. We built a payments infrastructure that puts businesses first: transparent pricing, real-time settlements, and compliance built in from day one.

Today, thousands of businesses trust Hayvora to power their cross-border transactions, from startups making their first international payment to enterprises processing billions.

Meet the founder

Ayodele Odejobi (Hayod)

Ayodele Odejobi (Hayod)

Founder & CEO·Lagos, Nigeria

Ayodele popularly known as Hayod founded Hayvora after more than six years across fintech and payments, where he watched African businesses lose time and money to the friction of moving funds across borders. A physicist by training, he approaches problems the way the discipline taught him to: break the system down, find where it leaks, and rebuild it to work.

He leads Hayvora from Lagos with a single conviction, that a business in Africa should be able to pay and get paid anywhere in the world as easily as one in London or New York. Under his direction the team has built payments infrastructure that puts transparency, compliance, and speed first.

Moving money across a border shouldn't be harder than the work it took to earn it. That's the problem we exist to remove.
