L–R: Paul Otu, Divisional Head, Design & User Experience, Interswitch; Yemisi Owonubi, Head, Masterbrand, Communications and CSR, Interswitch; Cherry Eromosele, Executive Vice President, Group Marketing and Communications, Interswitch; and Tomi Ogunlesi, Divisional Head, Brands, Communications & CSR, Interswitch, at the premiere of the new Interswitch Masterbrand TVC, held recently in Lagos.

Interswitch, one of Africa’s foremost integrated payments and digital commerce companies, has unveiled its latest masterbrand Television Commercial (TVC), alongside a corresponding integrated marketing communication campaign anchored on its ‘Never Stop’ brand philosophy.

It would be recalled that to herald its 20th anniversary commemoration earlier in 2022, Interswitch launched a new brand campaign projecting its positioning as a pioneering and integral enabler that has actively supported the growth and development of fintech and payments across Africa.

It also amplified the brand’s progressive outlook as a frontier-driving company which keeps pushing boundaries and facilitating the creation of new ecosystems that help businesses and individuals scale and thrive, in line with its purpose of inspiring Africa to greatness through innovation, value-creation and excellence.

This latest complementary brand campaign, still based on the existing philosophy however marks a significant milestone in the brand’s evolution, as Interswitch continues its mission to humanize technology and spotlight the often-unseen role it plays in powering everyday life across Africa, from payments and transportation to healthcare, energy, education, and real estate. This campaign reaffirms Interswitch’s commitment to enabling the moments that matter.

Commenting on the campaign and its significance, Cherry Eromosele, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Communications, Interswitch Group, said:“This commercial is not just a brand film, it is a cultural moment. It reflects who we are and why we exist, to enable progress, empower dreams, and fuel the heartbeat of commerce and connection across Africa. By humanizing our story, we are reinforcing that our impact goes far beyond technology, it lives in the everyday lives we touch. In doing so, we are helping to build a digital Africa where everyone and every business can thrive.”

Anchored by the TVC, the campaign tells a deeply human story of trust, reliability, and steady, unwavering impact, values that have defined Interswitch’s journey over the last two decades.

Rather than focus on product features, the film shifts the narrative to people including commuters, merchants, students, mothers, and small business owners whose lives are made simpler, faster, and more secure by Interswitch’s underlying infrastructure.

Commenting on the launch of the commercial, Divisional Head for Brands, Communications, Content and Storytelling at Interswitch, Tomi Ogunlesi said: “In an age where automation is becoming increasingly glorified, we are essentially making a bet on human connection. We made a conscious choice to tell this story with heart, to let people see themselves, their families, their daily hustle reflected on screen, and to connect the dots with how Interswitch powers the moments that matter in their lives. That’s what makes it real. That’s what makes it matter.”
