Austine Abolusoro

Austine Abolusoro is the CEO & Co-Founder of Linearsend Inc., a fintech company headquartered in Ontario, Canada, on a mission to democratize cross-border payments for African diaspora communities worldwide. His vision is a world where financial barriers no longer limit the economic potential of immigrants and their communities.

Austine leads three interconnected financial products: Linearsend (Revve), a regulated cross-border remittance and payments platform; P2Vest, a peer-to-peer lending platform in Nigeria; and YesCredit, a staff payday loan product serving Nigerian institutions.

Since launching Revve, Austine has grown the platform into a regulated, high-volume payments operation sending money to over 50 countries and processing tens of thousands of transactions every month. Revve holds FINTRAC MSB registration and Bank of Canada PSP authorization, and currently serves the African diaspora across Canada, the UK, and 27 European countries, with active expansion into the US and Asia underway. The platform differentiates through lower FX margins, competitive rates, and a mobile-first experience that goes beyond remittance into bill payments and marketplace transactions.

Austine’s approach to fintech is rooted in execution speed, regulatory discipline, and relentless customer focus — building products that give immigrants access to fast, transparent, and competitively priced financial services without sacrificing dignity or trust. He is equally focused on building the operational backbone for scale, including an internal AI playbook designed to bring automation and intelligence into how Linearsend executes across compliance, marketing, and customer experience.

His 2026 vision is to scale Revve into a category-leading platform for African diaspora finance, and to position Linearsend as a leading AI-driven fintech infrastructure company across North America, Africa, and beyond.

Austine’s career spans nearly two decades in leadership roles across African financial institutions, where he provided oversight for a range of digital transformation initiatives — experience that now underpins his approach to building regulated, technology-driven financial infrastructure at scale.
