George Onyewuchi
Chief Payments Officer
I’m a product and technology leader with deep expertise in delivering innovative solutions—from AI-powered platforms to large-scale payment systems—while building high-performing teams and forging strategic partnerships. Over my career, I’ve taken multiple products from concept to market, managing portfolios that process over $500M in annual transactions.
I’ve led product strategy and execution across fintech, payments, and enterprise software, including launching payment solutions that drove $50M in government disbursements within the first year. At a leading African bank, I spearheaded fintech engagement, created its API marketplace, built its consolidated payment gateway, and revamped its bills aggregation platform. I also directed SME banking solution delivery, helping the bank win 15+ awards between 2017–2019.
Beyond execution, I bridge technology, business, and innovation—hosting discussions on blockchain/web3, growing industry communities across Africa, and shaping digital ecosystems through banking-as-a-service. I now lead the payments team at SoftAlliance as Chief Payment Officer for its flagship app, Softpay.
