Timon Surpasses 100,000 Signups as Cross-Border Payments Demand Grows
Founder and Chief Executive Officer Tomi Ayorinde announced the milestone in a post reflecting on the company's performance during the first six months of the year.
Timon, the stablecoin-powered travel payments and financial infrastructure startup, has surpassed 100,000 user signups after adding 50,000 new registrations during the first half of 2026, matching the total number of signups it accumulated over the previous two years.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer Tomi Ayorinde announced the milestone in a post reflecting on the company’s performance during the first six months of the year. According to Ayorinde, Timon entered 2026 with 50,000 signups and doubled that figure by the end of the first half, while also recording its highest-ever customer conversion rate.
The company also reported growing international traction, with Ayorinde saying Timon has begun attracting organic demand from new markets through strategic partnerships. He described the development as a strong indication that the company’s products are gaining adoption beyond its existing customer base.
Timon also strengthened its customer acquisition strategy by redesigning its referral programme. According to Ayorinde, referrals increased by 900 percent following the relaunch, generating more than 200 successful referrals during the programme’s first week.
As part of its expansion strategy, the company increased the number of countries to which users can send money, extending its cross-border payment capabilities and making the platform more useful for a growing international customer base.
Beyond the business metrics, Ayorinde credited the company’s progress to strong internal alignment across its product, engineering, operations, growth and customer support teams. He said maintaining a shared vision had enabled the business to execute quickly as it scaled without the organisational friction that often accompanies rapid growth.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Ayorinde said the pace of execution is continuing to accelerate and expressed optimism about the company’s growth trajectory. He also announced plans to be in New York later in the month to meet with people interested in learning more about Timon and its travel-focused payments platform.
