Pawn.ng Expands Cross Border Operations, Strengthens Position in Nigeria and Ghana’s Alternative Finance Sector
Pawn.ng has continued to strengthen its footprint in West Africa’s alternative finance industry, positioning itself as one of the region’s leading technology-driven pawn businesses with operations spanning both Nigeria and Ghana.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Lagos, the company has grown into a cross-border brand with branches in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Accra, providing customers with secure access to asset-backed loans, professional valuations, luxury watch authentication, trade-in opportunities and resale services.
Unlike traditional pawn businesses, Pawn.ng has modernised the industry by combining technology with transparent valuation processes and professional customer service. The company accepts a wide range of valuable assets, including smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, premium televisions, cameras, jewellery, gold and other high-value electronics as collateral for short-term financing.
Pawn.ng has also established itself as one of West Africa’s recognised luxury watch dealers, facilitating the purchase and sale of authenticated timepieces from prestigious brands including Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille.
According to the company, more than 15,000 customers have been served since inception, while over 7,000 luxury watches have been bought and sold through its authentication and resale platform.
Chief Executive Officer, Eziefula Ezichi, said the company’s vision is to make asset-backed financing more accessible by providing fast, secure and transparent financial solutions for individuals, entrepreneurs and luxury asset owners.
As demand for alternative financing continues to grow across Africa, Pawn.ng says it plans to expand into additional African markets while maintaining its focus on trust, transparency and customer experience.
