The threshold
between Naira and stablecoins.
Narthex is a compliant, direct conversion gateway — bank rails in, USDT out, in seconds. No escrow chats, no frozen accounts, no counterparty roulette.
Peer-to-peer was the workaround. It was never the answer.
Years of banking restrictions pushed Nigerian crypto users onto P2P marketplaces. What was left behind: counterparty scams, slow settlement, and bank accounts flagged or frozen for looking like the wrong kind of transaction.
Not another trading playground.
Narthex is crypto-as-infrastructure: the fastest way to move value between Naira and stablecoins, and actually spend it once it's there.
Direct NGN → USDT rails
Bank transfer in, stablecoins out — seconds, not hours. No altcoin speculation, just a fast lane to a stable store of value.
Automated conversionSpend it where it lands
Virtual dollar cards, B2B settlement for overseas suppliers, and local bill payments — all funded straight from your stablecoin balance.
Embedded utilityCompliance, built in
A two-minute BVN/NIN onboarding and one-click tax reporting aligned to the Nigeria Tax Act — so staying compliant is the easy option.
Automated reportingThe Instant Supplier Settlement Engine.
Importers in Lagos's biggest trade hubs lose days sourcing dollars for suppliers in China, Vietnam, and India. Narthex turns a five-day bank wire into a two-minute transaction.
Target the wire nightmare
Launch for merchants paying overseas manufacturers — settling supplier invoices in USDT on low-fee networks instead of chasing scarce dollars.
Deep liquidity, zero slippage
Institutional OTC relationships and dedicated virtual bank accounts mean six-figure transfers settle without moving the market.
Enterprise-grade compliance
Transaction monitoring and clean, automated statements that map directly to capital gains reporting — audits stop being a fire drill.
Built on Nigeria's 2026 rulebook, not around it.
Narthex is structured to move fast without cutting corners — routing through licensed partners where it accelerates launch, while capital reserves are built toward independent licensing.
| License category | Min. capital | Fit for Narthex |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Assets Exchange DAX | ₦2 billion | Low — built for full order-book exchanges, not our model. |
| Digital Asset Intermediary DAI | ₦500 million | High — suited to B2B brokerage and OTC settlement. |
| Ancillary VASP AVASP | ₦300 million | Alternative — fits a gateway/custody technology layer. |
