We’re helping friends, families and loved ones stay connected and securely send money across Africa with incredible ease and peace of mind. Our cross-border payments infrastructure also helps merchants and businesses in Africa accept payments on the internet with no friction. Over 3 million users have joined so far and we’re growing very fast. We have raised a total of $300mm from the likes of Bezos Expeditions, FTX, Silicon Valley Bank, Joe Montana, Ribbit Capital, and others to accelerate the growth of financial services within Africa.
