Dozie noticed that traders from the remote villages in the South-east of the Nigeria, where he grew up, were facing the problem of carrying huge bundles of cash when they travel to Lagos for business. Sometimes, they are waylaid by rogues on the road. This prompted Dozie to pioneer electronic transfers in Nigeria so traders could transfer their cash to Lagos by electronics means instead of having to carry it.

When the bank started, it operated from a 3rd floor office in Victoria Island with 20 people and $5million.
