Cross-border trade payments and treasury infrastructure for Africa
Multigate operates a treasury management and cross-border payments platform focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, built on Azure data infrastructure (Data Factory, Synapse, SQL, Databricks) paired with SWIFT for settlement. The tech stack and active projects reveal a compliance-heavy operation: payments/FX pipelines, regulatory reporting, and control framework implementation dominate the roadmap, while pain points center on real-time financial visibility and onboarding velocity — typical friction points for regulated fintech at scale.
Multigate is a licensed treasury management and cross-border infrastructure provider founded in 2017, headquartered in London with operational bases in Canada and Nigeria. The company serves businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa, automating treasury operations and cross-border trade payments to reduce friction in regional commerce. The organization is small and distributed: 11–50 employees across finance, sales, data, engineering, and product, with active hiring in Nigeria and the UK. Core products include treasury and trade OS modules, API client onboarding, and remittance capabilities alongside FX and compliance reporting infrastructure.
Multigate runs on Azure cloud infrastructure (Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, SQL, Data Lake Storage) with Databricks for analytics, Power BI for reporting, and SWIFT for payment settlement. Python, Jira, and Confluence support engineering operations.
Active projects include payments and FX trade data pipelines, compliance reporting, client API onboarding, expanding cross-border coverage into new markets, securing remittance and fintech clients, and implementing internal control frameworks and treasury/trade OS modules.
