Founded in 2013, Zedcrest Group has evolved from a Lagos-based fixed-income trader into an integrated African financial services ecosystem. Under Managing Director Adedayo Amzat, the firm has expanded its footprint through strategic moves, including the 2024 acquisition of RMB Nigeria Stockbrokers—now Zedcrest Securities—and the recent purchase of global payments firm Leatherback. The group currently operates across venture capital, investment banking, asset management, consumer finance, and fintech, with its subsidiary Zedvance Finance deploying over 312 billion naira in capital since inception.
