Building trust into every Nigerian deal.
Online trading in Nigeria runs on a leap of faith — someone always has to “send first.” Deela removes that leap with escrow and AI, so people can buy and sell with strangers safely.
The problem we’re solving
Every day, buyers get scammed paying upfront and sellers get burned shipping before payment clears. The result is a market that runs on fear and lost money. Deela sits in the middle, holding funds in escrow until both sides are satisfied.
What we believe
Safety by default
Money is protected the moment a deal starts — not as an afterthought.
Technology that protects
AI quietly watches for fraud so people don’t have to be the experts.
Built for Nigeria
Local banks, local KYC, local realities — designed for how Nigerians trade.
Where we’re going
We’re building the trust layer for commerce across Africa — starting with escrow, and expanding into every tool people need to deal with confidence.
