Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie is pleased to have advised LeapFrog Investments on its strategic investment, with Tana Africa Capital, in Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading technology-driven companies focused on the digitisation of payments. The investment is expected to assist in supporting Interswitch’s drive to advance the payment ecosystem across Africa.

A portion of the investment has been acquired from existing shareholders, with Ignite Holdco Limited, made up of Helios Investment Partners and TA Associates, remaining the largest shareholder in the business following the transaction.
