About Traverse
Small businesses keep Nigeria moving. We're building the tools that help them get paid, stay organised and grow, without the busywork.
Millions of businesses still run on WhatsApp chats, notebooks and personal bank apps. We think they deserve better. The same tools big companies use, built for how small businesses actually work.
Talk to any tailor, caterer, designer or shop owner and you'll hear the same story: the work is the easy part. The hard part is sending invoices, remembering who still owes what, sending awkward reminders and keeping business money apart from personal money.
Traverse brings all of that into one place. Invoices, debts, customers, a business account and transfers share the same records, and the WhatsApp Assistant puts it all in the app business owners already use every day.
What we believe
Phones first, WhatsApp included, and plain language everywhere. No accounting degree needed.
A PIN on every transfer, verified businesses and monitoring that pauses anything unusual.
Free to start, a flat fee when money moves out, and the fee shown before you confirm.
When you need help, you talk to our team, not a maze of automated replies.
The company
Traverse is built by Lavelle Development Technologies Limited, a Nigerian company based in Lagos.
