Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has officially launched its Send App in Egypt, marking a major milestone in its mission to simplify cross-border payments and deepen Africa’s connection to the global economy.
With this move, Flutterwave brings its trusted remittance solution to one of North Africa’s most influential markets, offering Egyptians in the UK, USA, and beyond a fast, secure, and convenient way to send money back home.
A Lifeline for Millions
For millions of Egyptians living abroad, sending money home is not just a transaction, it’s a lifeline. In 2023 alone, the Egyptian diaspora sent approximately $32.6 billion in remittances, according to the Central Bank of Egypt. Yet, many still face slow, outdated systems or rely on informal channels to move funds.
Flutterwave’s Send App transforms this experience with a mobile-first platform that delivers money quickly, safely, and directly to loved ones, whether in bustling Cairo, academic hubs like Alexandria, or rural villages far from financial centers.
“For us, launching Send App in Egypt isn’t just about expansion,” said Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave.
“It’s about connecting people. It’s about helping Egyptians abroad support their families, mark life’s milestones, and build financial bridges. Egypt plays a vital role in our vision to make Africa feel more connected by enabling money to move faster, and with greater trust.”
Cash Pickups and Nationwide Reach
Thanks to Flutterwave’s robust payment infrastructure, recipients in Egypt can collect funds in cash at multiple locations across the country, ensuring that money reaches those who need it most, regardless of where they live.
The Send App combines speed, accessibility, and security, backed by Flutterwave’s partnerships with banks, governments, and international platforms like Uber and Air Peace. Every transaction is built on world-class compliance and protection standards, giving users peace of mind with every transfer.
Building Financial Bridges across Borders
With the launch of Send App in Egypt, Flutterwave continues to redefine what’s possible in African fintech, removing friction from remittances and giving diasporas the tools to uplift their communities.
The future of cross-border payments in Africa is here. And for Egyptians abroad, it just got a lot easier to send love, and support home.
