The Birth of Glaid: Empowering Nigerians in Canada through Peer-to-Peer Exchange

A Problem Worth Solving

For many Nigerians living in Canada, sending money back home to loved ones is a regular and essential task. However, traditional remittance services often come with high fees, hidden markups, and limited control over the exchange rate. This can result in a significant portion of the transferred amount being lost in transit, leaving the recipient with less than expected.

This issue sparked the idea for Glaid, a peer-to-peer marketplace designed to connect Nigerians in Canada directly, allowing them to exchange CAD for NGN without the need for intermediaries.

A Solution Built on Empowerment

Glaid's founders understood the importance of creating a platform that would put the power back in the hands of the users. By cutting out banks and institutional middlemen, Glaid enables users to set their own exchange rates, ensuring that they get the best possible value for their money.

• No more hidden markups or exorbitant fees

• Users have complete control over the exchange rate

• Funds are secured in escrow, ensuring a safe and reliable transaction process

At Glaid, we believe that everyone deserves access to fair and transparent financial services. Our platform is built on the principles of empowerment, security, and speed, ensuring that users can send money back home with confidence and peace of mind.
