A real estate investment company based in Lagos, Lifecard International Limited, says it has expanded its frontiers and launched Lifecard Technologies Limited at the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
The launch also marked the countdown to the unveiling of PlatinumInvest, the world’s first mobile app dedicated solely to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), scheduled to go live on August 22, 2025.
The dual launch, according to the company, is a strategic leap not just for it as a brand, but also for Africa’s position in the global investment ecosystem.
“This is more than a business launch; it is a bold statement that Africa is ready to lead in real estate and fintech,” Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu, Founder/CEO, Lifecard International, said, adding, “with PlatinumInvest, we are democratising access to global property portfolios, powered by AI and designed for everyday investors worldwide.”
Obi Cubana, Victor Osimhen, and Lush Eby, were among the celebrities and high-profile personalities that attended the event where the company revealed that the PlatinumInvest app, developed by Lifecard Technologies, is an AI-driven platform that enables users to invest in global REITs without owning or managing physical properties.
It allows for fractional, secure, and borderless investment in top-performing real estate assets across many continents.
Ofure announced that Lifecard has partnered with key players in Dubai and other international real estate markets, offering investors access to high-yield property investments.
“Through the firm’s global operations hub in Dubai, qualified investors will be able to acquire the coveted UAE Golden Visa, a game-changing benefit for those seeking long-term residency and financial leverage in the region.
“Whether you are based in Lagos, London, or Los Angeles, PlatinumInvest puts global real estate wealth at your fingertips,” she said, adding, “We are opening the gates for smart investment with minimal entry barriers.”
To support this momentum, Lifecard University, the group’s educational arm, is also expanding into Dubai. The initiative will offer real estate training, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship development, empowering a new generation of globally-minded investors.
“This is not just an office opening; it is the beginning of a generational wealth movement,” Ofure emphasised. “Lifecard Technologies is here to empower, educate, and elevate Africans and global citizens alike.”
In his goodwill message, Obi Cubana lauded Ofure’s vision and tenacity, saying, “what Grace is doing is groundbreaking; we’re proud to support a platform that makes real estate wealth accessible to more people in smarter, tech-enabled ways.”
In the same vein, football icon, Victor Osimhen, described the launch as “a powerful example of African innovation on the world stage.”
With the Dubai launch, PlatinumInvest rollout, and global partnerships in motion, Lifecard is set to redefine real estate investment and unlock new wealth frontiers for investors across the world.
