Sending $200 from Nigeria to Ghana costs an average of $14-20 in fees. That's 7-10% — compared to the 1-2% that's standard for US-to-Europe transfers. For a continent where remittances are a lifeline, this is unacceptable.

GoPay is our answer to this problem. Built in partnership with Fincra, we're targeting the payment corridors that matter most to everyday Africans. Not just international transfers, but the daily payments that power small businesses and families across borders.

We're starting with the Nigeria-Ghana and Nigeria-Kenya corridors, then expanding based on demand data. The goal isn't to build another fintech app — it's to make African money move as freely as data.
