About Stratus Partners

Global expertise,
brought home.

Our team has operated inside some of the world's most demanding environments. Uptime is non-negotiable, regulators are watching, and failure costs millions.

The idea of Stratus Partners was conceived following discussions between our founders about the poor state of the Nigerian online banking space.

One of us had tried to use a bank app, and for three days there was downtime. That downtime caused him to miss a real opportunity. It wasn't a minor inconvenience. It was the kind of systemic failure that costs people money and erodes trust in institutions.

Having lived in the United Kingdom for almost two decades and worked in IT consulting for top commercial banks, FinTechs, government institutions and multinationals for over a decade, we made a decision: bring our wealth of knowledge and experience back home.

Our mission is to implement technology solutions that enable African blue-chips to deliver world-class services, and to put an end to the downtimes and unreliable systems in their online operations.
