The company, which was established in 2017 under Company Allied Matters of Corporate Affairs Commission (C.A.C) is said to be first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.

“First, it’s not a claim, we self-birthed this industry in Nigeria. We are building a legacy on what everyone turned a blind eye too. The Crypto and Giftcard market came alive because of us. Ultimately, we are glad to have shone the light for more to follow,” the company noted in a recent interview.

Patricia is said to have totally changed the landscape. In 2019 it became the first company to let users, literally withdraw Bitcoin from ATMs or spend at POS machines nationwide. Then in 2019 alone, Patricia Technologies Limited processed over N10 billion in transaction volume, having specialized in trading digital assets – assets, meaning an entity that holds value, purely digital and not physical.
