Nezz

Nezz is a financial-technology company focused on instant, bank-verified, high-value transactions in the luxury market. The company provides solutions for buyers, sellers, and brokers in sectors including yachts, luxury automobiles, watches, and premium real estate.

History

Nezz was co-founded by Brandon Gallagher and Lopsii Olagoke, combining expertise in financial systems and enterprise SaaS. Gallagher’s experience includes building Canada’s national P2P payment infrastructure and migrating Interac’s e-transfer platform. Olagoke scaled a B2B SaaS platform to $90 million in transaction volume and developed software used by Canadian government research and the oil & gas sector. The founders’ combined vision was to create a platform that removes friction and risk from luxury payments.

Products and Features

Instant Bank Payments: Secure, high-value transfers processed in seconds. Automated Verification & KYC: Real-time verification of buyers and sellers to reduce fraud risk. Self-Service Escrow: Users can manage payment release securely without relying on third-party intermediaries. Fast Onboarding: Registration and verification take under five minutes, making high-value transactions as simple as consumer apps.

Market Positioning

Nezz targets luxury brokers, auction houses, and high-net-worth individuals who require speed, security, and trust in multimillion-dollar transactions. By integrating banking infrastructure directly, the platform offers a safe alternative to wire transfers, credit cards, crypto, and cash, while minimizing fees and settlement delays.

Technology

Nezz leverages regulated banking APIs and secure cloud infrastructure to provide instant settlements, robust fraud detection, and compliance with financial regulations. The platform’s architecture allows users to move large sums safely, while automated KYC and proof-of-funds systems ensure that both parties are verified before transactions occur.

Vision

Nezz aims to become the gold standard for luxury payments, redefining the way high-value transactions are conducted globally. Its founders envision a world where complex, trust-dependent deals in yachts, high-end automobiles, watches, and premium real estate can be completed with the same ease as digital consumer payments, but with enterprise-grade security and compliance.
