Founder · 2026 to present · A Siryn Technologies Limited venture · grabam.com

A peer-to-peer marketplace for students and the general public in Ghana, paid with MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash or AT Money. The buyer's payment is held with Moolre, a Bank of Ghana–licensed payment service provider, until the item is delivered. GrabAm Trade lets people swap items for items with no money involved.

What I built

Where it is today Public launch: October 2026

Live with real mobile-money payments, seller payouts, refunds and disputes running end to end, and GrabAm Trade open to anyone in Ghana at trade.grabam.com. Early stage: the focus now is growing the seller base.

Built to be trusted

Real customer money moves through GrabAm, so these controls run in production, not on a roadmap.

Data protection by design
Privacy policy written against Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843). Phone numbers, MoMo numbers and one-time codes are scrubbed from error logs.
Least-privilege access
Database access is denied by default and opened per table and column, and every rule is tested as a real user, including the cases that must be refused.
Audit trail
Every admin action is logged with a before-and-after record, and every product change is written up: the problem, the evidence, the fix and what was verified.
Tested backups
Nightly encrypted off-platform backups, and a monthly drill that restores one into a clean database and checks every table.
KYC-informed onboarding
Phone verification at signup, and the MoMo account name must match the user's name, checked on the server. Shaped by Ghana's Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044).
Consumer protection
Payments are held until delivery. If a seller doesn't confirm they still have the item, the order cancels itself with a full refund.

Customer funds are held by a licensed payment service provider, not by GrabAm, after evaluating the escrow licensing rules in Ghana's Payment Systems and Services Act, 2019 (Act 987).
