TIELLE: Travel Finance App Changing the Way Young Nigerians Explore the World, Now Open to Investors

Travel should be exciting, not exhausting. But for many young Nigerians, adventure often ends at the budgeting stage.

That’s where TIELLE comes in — a revolutionary travel financing and planning app designed to erase the stress, kill the excuses and make world exploration a real, affordable experience.

Backed by Social Media Centre Marketing (SMC) and led by a team of creatives, technologists and travel lovers, TIELLE is unlocking the world for a new generation of dreamers — one smart loan and savings plan at a time.

“When you think travel, think freedom — not headache,” says Solomon Sanusi, Media Director at SMC. “TIELLE is not just an app; it’s a passport to possibilities. And we’re already building it.”

What Makes TIELLE Different:

  • Finance Meets Adventure

TIELLE removes the biggest barrier to travel — money. Through flexible loan plans and automated savings tools, users can fund their travel goals responsibly and stress-free.

  • Planning Made Seamless

Personalised itineraries, real-time updates, and exclusive travel experiences — all built into one smooth, user-friendly app interface.

  • Built for Nigerians, Built to Scale

From sleek UX to efficient loan calculators, local KYC compliance to viral referral mechanics, TIELLE was made with the Nigerian traveler in mind — and is built to expand across Africa.

  • Revenue-Ready and Scalable

TIELLE earns through interest on loans and structured savings, and opens multiple monetization routes through future partnerships with airlines, hotels, and tourism brands.

Investor Opportunity

Funding Round: Seed

Capital Goal: $300,000 – $500,000

Use of Funds:

  • Finalising app development (iOS & Android)
  • Licensing, KYC and compliance expansion
  • Influencer-driven launch and growth marketing
  • Strategic B2B travel partnerships
  • Scaling backend for additional lifestyle finance products

“We’ve got the blueprint. We’ve got the prototype. We’ve started building. This isn’t wishful thinking — it’s working execution,” adds Sanusi. “TIELLE is not a dream — we don start work. No be cho cho cho.”

The Vision Is Bigger Than Travel

Today it’s about travel. Tomorrow? Lifestyle, experience and access.

TIELLE is on a roadmap to becoming the go-to platform for experience-based financing for Africa’s youth — from vacations to events, wellness, and education.
