Pioneer in Africa’s payments technology landscape, Flutterwave, has announced a significant upgrade to its revolutionary $end Mobile product, now rebranded as the Send App by Flutterwave.
This enhancement is poised to revolutionize money transfers from the African diaspora to their loved ones on the continent, offering a swifter, more accessible, and cost-effective solution.
The Send App, a beacon of seamless cross-border connectivity, has expanded its coverage to include transfers from the United States and Canada, while also welcoming new recipient nations, Egypt and Sénégal, into its network.
Since its inception in 2021, Send by Flutterwave has ardently pursued its mission to establish a secure, transparent, and rapid avenue for the African diaspora to bridge geographical distances and reinforce bonds with their homeland.
This rebrand arrives at an opportune moment, coinciding with a significant surge in remittances to Africa over the past decade, amounting to an estimated $100 billion in 2022, as reported by the United Nations.
These vital funds support essential needs such as medical expenses, education costs, and daily livelihoods for approximately 200 million individuals across the continent.
The Founder and CEO of Flutterwave, Olugbenga GB Agboola, emphasized the app’s pivotal role, stating, “We are excited to be joining and helping the over 160 million Africans in the diaspora 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.”
The revamped Send App introduces an array of user-centric features, including real-time support, live exchange rate updates, an enhanced transaction tracking interface, and an innovative voucher code section offering transaction discounts.
The sentiment of unity and connection inherent to the Send App is echoed by Lead Product Manager, Send, Temioluwa Adesina, who expressed, “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.”
The Send App is now available on both the Play Store and the App Store, offering a seamless experience for users seeking to foster connections and make a difference in the lives of their loved ones.
