Finceptive, a leading supply chain finance technology firm, has successfully settled its Series 1 Commercial Paper (CP) obligations, marking a critical milestone in its engagement with the Nigerian debt capital markets. The timely redemption of this first tranche reinforces the Company’s institutional-grade operational standards and validates its long-term viability as a disciplined issuer.

The CP issuance, authorised by the FMDQ Exchange and conducted in May 2025, saw significant oversubscription from a diverse pool of institutional investors. This high demand serves as a definitive endorsement of Finceptive’s governance framework, risk mitigation strategies, and competitive positioning in the financial services landscape.

Capital raised through the issuance was strategically deployed to bridge liquidity gaps within the trade and supply chain ecosystem, with a focus on high-velocity sectors such as Manufacturing, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), and Renewable Energy. By leveraging asset-backed liquidity structures anchored by premier corporate counterparties, Finceptive transforms static trade receivables into dynamic working capital, thus empowering manufacturers and distributors to scale industrial capacity without the constraints of traditional credit cycles.

“This settlement confirms our ability to facilitate seamless trade flows while maintaining the highest levels of fiduciary responsibility,” said Denike Akanbi, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Finceptive. “By providing reliable access to working capital, we are not just supporting individual businesses, but reinforcing the essential infrastructure of the real economy.”

Ogochukwu Anerobi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Finceptive, affirmed: “The successful redemption of our maiden commercial paper reflects a disciplined approach to capital structuring and liquidity management. Our focus remains on engineering reliable capital flows that provide institutional investors with predictable performance while empowering businesses across the African value chain.”

Finceptive’s repayment performance provides a tangible benchmark for market participants assessing African credit exposure, signaling rigorous governance alignment and a proven delivery track record. As the Company moves into its next strategic cycle, it is prioritising the scaling of its Pan-African footprint, focusing on high-growth trade corridors and integrating regional supply chains to drive sustainable, risk-adjusted returns.
