That’s a smart way of saying that his cofounder is Access Bank. If it is completely true, it makes sense for bank that wants to be at the forefront of fintech disruption..
Several months ago, a random comment from a guy that works with Access Bank (he wears dreadlocks and was formerly a manager at ideaHUB), actually led me into the rabbit hole to unravel the flutterwave/access bank relationship “thingy” when it eventually launched.
As someone that works in the payment space, it’s been interesting putting together pieces of puzzles that have remained unsolved for quite some time.
What seemed to set the house on fire is that Iyin’s use of narrative to sell his products is usually so strong. It once got him to a hot debate with @Tola on andela issues. This time, it is with @xolubi and the paystack gang. Thanksfully, he is committed to making changes in the coming year.
But like every argument, it needs to stop. And most importantly, it is time to leave the “score game” and get back to business for our customers’ sake.
Peace.
