Flagship · In development
Jago.
The ledger that writes itself.

The operating system for West Africa's merchants. Take payment by QR, the money lands in the merchant's own bank account, and Jago keeps the books — tills, staff, registers, tax pack and a credit file included.

Non-custodialMoney never passes through Jago
01 · Collect

One amount, one QR, paid in seconds.

The customer pays with their bank or mobile wallet over the instant-payment rail. Receipt on both sides.

  • Orange Money or any bank — one QR
  • Receiving costs the merchant nothing
  • Confirmed by the bank, not just announced
02 · The book

The book keeps itself.

Day, week, month. Only confirmed payments, readable by trend, category or day.

  • Day, week and month views
  • Only what the bank confirmed
03 · Team

Cashiers collect in your name.

Each one sees their own till — never the owner's books. Invite and revoke by phone number.

  • A till per cashier, full traceability
  • Invite or revoke by number
04 · Registers & exports

Accounting duties, kept effortlessly.

Sales and purchases registers, CSV or PDF export, and an SMT tax pack that builds itself as you get paid.

  • Ready to hand to your accountant
  • Nothing to re-enter at year end
05 · Multi-shop

Several shops, one gesture.

One owner, several shops — figures kept separate, switch in a tap.

06 · Credit file

Activity becomes evidence.

After months of confirmed payments, a merchant's activity reads like a file a licensed lender can understand. They see exactly what would be shared.

  • Nothing leaves without their request
  • No score, no promise of a loan
Where the money goes

From the customer to the merchant's bank. Directly.

The bank receives and settles. Jago records and reconciles.

About Swift Afrique

A product engineering studio rooted in West Africa

Our Mission

Swift Afrique is a product engineering studio. We design, build, and run software products and platforms for businesses, startups, and institutions across Africa and beyond — and we build our own, like Jago, our merchant payments platform for the WAEMU region. We pair deep experience in infrastructure, security, and scalable application development with a practical understanding of how software has to work in African markets.

Our Approach

Our approach is grounded in shipping: small teams, modern stacks, AI-native tooling, and weekly demos. It draws on our founder's years running production infrastructure in enterprise environments, on security-first engineering, and on building for the realities of the region: mobile-first users, local telecom and payment rails, and unreliable connectivity.
