Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has recently announced significant upgrades to its flagship remittance product, Send App. The revamped Send App introduces a range of new features and expanded geographical reach, empowering users in the United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, and the United States to easily send money to their loved ones or business partners in Africa.
One of the key enhancements to the Send App is integrating popular payment methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and International Card Payments. This integration provides users in Canada and the U.S. with a seamless and convenient way to send money to recipients in Africa. Additionally, Flutterwave has introduced mobile money and cash pick-up options in selected destinations, catering to the preferences of Africans, particularly older adults, who prefer receiving cash remittances.
To further improve the user experience, Flutterwave has introduced in-app customer support within the Send App. This feature allows users to easily access assistance and resolve issues or concerns while using the service, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free remittance experience. Moreover, the App now offers voucher codes, enabling users to take advantage of special promotions and discounts on their transactions, making sending money to Africa even more affordable.
Fast Company has recognized Flutterwave’s commitment to innovation and dedication to transforming the remittance landscape in Africa. It named the company the Most Innovative Company for Europe, Middle East, and Africa 2024. This recognition highlights Flutterwave’s relentless pursuit of innovation and its impact on shaping industry and culture, placing it alongside industry giants such as Nvidia, Open A.I., and YouTube.
Olugbenga Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, “We’re thrilled to be recognized as No. 1 in the Most Innovative Company Europe, Middle East, and Africa Category. Innovation is integral to our core values, which we continue to adopt across all parts of our business.”
In addition to the Send App enhancements, Flutterwave has been actively forging strategic partnerships to streamline its payment processing capabilities. The company recently collaborated with Acquired.com to help users process domestic card payments on the Send App. Leveraging Acquired.com’s payment processing expertise, Flutterwave aims to provide faster and more secure outward remittance transactions for U.K. and E.U. cardholders.
Flutterwave’s commitment to connecting Africa to the global economy has also been recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s US-Africa Business Center. Agboola has been named vice chair of the center’s board of directors, highlighting Flutterwave’s role in strengthening U.S. and African relations and cultivating the ever-changing commercial links between the two regions.
As Flutterwave continues to expand the reach and features of its Send App, the company remains dedicated to providing efficient, secure, and user-friendly remittance solutions. With its focus on innovation, strategic partnerships, and customer-centric approach, Flutterwave is well-positioned to drive growth and transformation in the remittance industry, empowering individuals and businesses across Africa and beyond.
