Grey CEO Advocates for Dollar-Free Intra-African Trade

Grey, a cross-border payments company, asserts that African businesses should transact with suppliers across the continent without relying on the US dollar. This stance was emphasized by Idorenyin Obong, the company's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Obong made these remarks during an interview with journalists at the Moonshot by TechCabal 2026 event in Lagos. The conference, which Grey sponsored, attracted a wide range of technology companies, investors, and industry professionals.

The event, held at the National Theatre in Lagos, took place over two days on October 28 and 29. Grey's involvement as the headline sponsor underscores its commitment to promoting financial solutions tailored for the African market.
