Flutterwave, through its flagship product, Send App, has committed to its mission – connecting the world to Africa and Africa to the world through seamless payments.
Identifying that remittances are a lifeline for Africans, Flutterwave has made giant strides in bridging the gap for Africans to easily access cross-border payments for essential items such as tuition fees, medical bills, and so on.
Flutterwave’s cross border capabilities surged in 2024, as almost 50% of businesses on its platform received payments from new geographic locations.
This growth encompasses sectors like remittance, hospitality, and travel, powering seamless cross border transactions across the globe.
To enhance its cross-border solution, Flutterwave has made significant strides, one of which was acquiring a remittance license in Ghana to facilitate cross-border payment processing for Ghanaians, and thus expanding the reach of their remittance solutions in Ghana.
Improving Send Appโs speed on the technological front, they were able toย process over 98% of its cross-border transactions in under five minutes.
Beyond facilitating cross-border payments, Flutterwave has actively contributed to the development of Africa’s fintech ecosystem.
This contribution is evident in their expansion efforts, now operating in overย 60% of African countries, establishing partnerships with payment giants such asย AMEXย and recently launching aย Pay With Bank Transferย option for Ghanaian businesses.
This recognition follows a series of prestigious awards Flutterwave has received, which include Fast Companyโsย โMost Innovative Company for Europe, Middle East, and Africaโย in 2024, the 2024ย โFinancial Services Infrastructure Innovation Awardโย at the International Financial Inclusion Conference, and theย โCross Border Paymentsโย award at the 2025 Africa Tech Summit.
Flutterwaveโs inclusion in the FXC Top 100 list is a mark of continued success and commitment to providing reliable payment infrastructure that enables enterprise businesses to operate and expand easily in Africa and globally.
