Our story.
Built for the everyday seller.
TradEX was built from the ground up for local markets - for the trader at the city market, the fashion designer in the capital, the electronics seller in the commercial hub, and the artisan who deserves a platform built for them.
The programme is backed by a major trade finance bank and developed in partnership with a state ministry of trade and industry, as part of a broader commitment to digitise Nigerian SMEs and expand their access to national and global markets.
