UNILORIN Alumnus Samuel Eze Revolutionizes Global Banking with Innovative Business Solutions

Samuel Chukwunonso Eze, an accomplished entrepreneur and UNILORIN alumnus from the Class of 2019, is making waves in the global business landscape as the Founder and CEO of @GetOurPass. His company, a global business bank, equips small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises with the essential tools for payment, commerce, and banking, facilitating their success in today’s competitive market.

Sam's entrepreneurial journey began with his first venture, Parkcrowdy, which gained recognition as one of the top 10 mobility start-ups in Africa and was prominently showcased in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2019. Building on this success, Sam launched OurPass Business Bank in 2021 with the vision of tackling the issue of abandoned carts in online shopping and enhancing sales through a seamless one-click checkout solution.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic initially bolstered e-commerce growth, leading to optimistic projections for OurPass Business Bank, the subsequent slowdown in e-commerce posed challenges. Undeterred, Sam and his team pivoted strategically, transforming OurPass into a global neo-bank for businesses. This shift has paid off, as the company now serves a diverse range of clients, including notable names such as Spar, Soulmate, Medplus, Four Points by Sheraton, TFC, and UAC Foods.

Samuel Eze’s journey exemplifies innovation and resilience, and his contributions continue to impact the business world positively, showcasing the talent emerging from UNILORIN.
