Making changes to ensure and support our sustainability and growth

For almost four years since we launched, we have been building best-in-class financial products for Nigerian businesses and have, since then, extended our services to individuals and families. We have since raised $2m and have continued to build and grow through the changing times.

We have added some of the kindest and smartest people I have been privileged to work with, and they have all played important roles in building today’s Brass. However, the local economy has changed significantly in the last few months, impacting our plans.

Over the next few days, Brass will be moving some of its employees to furlough as it resets itself and rebuilds for the current economic realities. During this time, we would continue to provide impacted colleagues with health insurance coverage and other benefits until we can bring them back in the following months so they can continue to do their best work with us.

Our employee experience lead, alongside co-founder and CTO will be leading this process with one-on-one calls and ensuring we provide every kind of support to everyone impacted. I will also be available to provide reference calls for our impacted colleagues looking for new opportunities elsewhere.

We will continue to do our best to build a great business and be responsible to everyone who’s been a part of our process of building a company we can all be proud of for helping us to defend and support the business.

Thank you very much.
