TARGAR

Moneyshouldmoveevenwherecards,POS,andcashcan't.

TARGAR is payment infrastructure built for Nigeria's informal markets — letting traders and customers send, receive, and accept payments using only a phone number and a secure digital identity. No card. No terminal. No cash in hand.

How it works

Infrastructure, not just an app

TARGAR sits underneath the transaction — verifying who you are and moving the money, so the hardware in between becomes optional.

1

Step 1

Verify once, securely

Set up a digital identity tied to your phone number — built with bank-grade security, PIN protection, and OTP verification. To authorize a transaction, you enter your 4-digit PIN directly on the merchant's device — it's highly encrypted and never stored there, and screenshots or screen recording are blocked at that moment for extra protection.

Step 2

Send or receive instantly

Move money by phone number or TARGAR tag. A market trader can collect payment from a customer the same way she'd collect cash — no terminal, no float, no card reader required.

Step 3

Top up and transact

Buy airtime and data, pay bills, and transfer to any bank or user — all from the same wallet, with the same verified identity behind every transaction.
