Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments
technology company, has announced the enhancement of its $end Mobile product, now
Send App by Flutterwave, to facilitate faster, easier, and more affordable
money transfers from people in the diaspora to their families, friends, and
loved ones in Africa.
Send App now supports transfers from US and
Canada and has added new recipient countries namely Egypt and Sénégal in its
network. Launched in 2021, Send by Flutterwave has been fulfilling its mission
of providing a fast, transparent, and secure way for the Africans Diaspora to
bridge the distance, strengthen the bonds and connect with home.
The rebrand comes at a time when remittances
to the continent have doubled over the last decade–reaching an estimated $100
billion in 2022, according to the United Nations, supporting the medical bills,
school fees, and living costs of an estimated 200 million relatives in Africa. With
Send App, money transfer has been taken a notch higher to become an expression
of love and support and a way to make a positive change in the lives of those
you care about. Flutterwave is committed to helping the diaspora communities
connect with their roots without compromising transparency, fees, security, and
delivery time.
The app is currently available on Play Store
and App Store and aims to enhance customer experience. Other key features of
the Send App include real-time support and exchange rate update, an improved
activity section that tracks transactions in real-time, and a new voucher code
section that allows users to get discounts on transactions.
Commenting on the relaunch, Temioluwa Adesina,
Lead Product Manager, Send, said, “We’ve been iterating and working hard to
make Send App the ultimate money transfer solution for Africans in the
diaspora. I am happy we are deploying it at this time and empowering millions
of Africans home and abroad to easily, safely, and quickly support and connect
with each other via money transfer on Send App.”
Olugbenga GB Agboola, the Founder and CEO of
Flutterwave, commented that “No matter where we find ourselves as Africans, we
remain tied to our home and always seek measures to support, appreciate and
stay connected with our loved ones. We are excited to be joining and helping
the over 160 millions Africans diasporans in the journey to easily connect with
home via quick and safe money transfer on Send App. This is a remittance
solution built on our cross-border experience and global payment infrastructure
reach. We are on a mission to simplify payments for endless possibilities, Send
App is a critical step in that direction.”
