Parkkly, is a smart mobility startup founded by Kenechukwu Akubue & Team, today announces the commercial rollout of Parkkly 2.0, a refined peer-to-peer parking marketplace designed to convert idle residential and commercial compound space into safe, legal, and revenue-generating parking for drivers across Nigeria’s congested cities. Parkkly pairs a consumer-grade driver app with a homeowner onboarding platform and an integrated fintech wallet to deliver faster search, secure payments, and frictionless payouts.
Immediate takeaway: Parkkly turns unused private space into on-demand parking inventory, reduces roadside congestion, discourages illegal parking, and gives homeowners passive income, all via a secure app experience powered by Paystack and a virtual banking system.
What Parkkly 2.0 Delivers
• Real-time parking discovery: Drivers search an interactive map, filter by safety and availability, and book instantly.
• Host monetization: Homeowners list spaces, set dynamic pricing, and receive payouts to virtual accounts.
• Fintech integration: Paystack-powered payments, in-app wallet funding, and virtual account withdrawals for hosts and drivers.
• Performance and UX: Faster map rendering, refreshed UI, and lower latency for high-traffic urban environments.
• Market pilot: Early traction in Lagos with onboarding of drivers, homeowners, and community partners.
Why Parkkly Exists
In major Nigerian cities, vehicles line streets and choke traffic corridors because legal parking is scarce. Roadside parking increases accidents, invites fines and towing, and erodes neighborhood safety. Simultaneously, many homes and private compounds sit on underutilized space. Parkkly addresses both sides of that imbalance: supplying drivers with legal, nearby parking while monetizing otherwise idle property.
How It Works — Simple, Local, Scalable
For Drivers: Open the Parkkly app → locate a nearby space on the map → book and pay in seconds → receive parking confirmation and host instructions.
For Homeowners: Create a listing in minutes → add photos and availability windows → set a price or accept dynamic rates → get paid whenever the space is used.
Platform safeguards include host identity verification, basic vetting guidelines, and transaction records stored in-app for dispute resolution.
Traction & Product Milestones
Parkkly 2.0 marks the product’s first major commercial iteration since initial testing. Development highlights include:
• In-app virtual banking: Hosts access earnings instantly to virtual accounts, enabling predictable cash flow.
• Community adoption: Organic growth from Lagos commuter networks and neighborhood associations.
• UX improvements: Map speed and search relevance tuned for dense urban tiles and intermittent connectivity.
These early wins validate Parkkly’s model and prepare the platform for city-by-city expansion.
Strategic Vision — Scale, Partnerships, Urban Impact
Parkkly’s vision is to become Africa’s leading community-powered parking marketplace. Immediate strategic objectives:
• Scale across major Nigerian cities using localized onboarding and security partnerships.
• Integrate with municipal planners and security agencies to align listings with regulatory frameworks.
• Deploy data insights to inform urban planning and reduce congestion through smarter utilization of private space.
Parkkly aims to transform parking from a civic headache into a distributed asset class that benefits drivers, homeowners, and cities.
