Afriex, a global fintech platform, has partnered with Visa, the world leader in digital payments, to deliver real-time cross-border transactions across more than 160 markets.
Through the integration of Visa Direct via Afriex’s financial institution partner, the platform will now allow individuals and businesses to send and receive funds faster and more securely across borders.
This collaboration enhances Afriex’s mission to make international payments more accessible and affordable, leveraging Visa’s global network to increase reach and reliability.
“For the millions of families and businesses who depend on remittances, speed and transparency matter most. Working with Visa allows us to pair Afriex’s innovation with Visa Direct’s global network, so money moves in real time, not days,” said Tope Alabi, CEO of Afriex.
According to the World Bank, remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached $669 billion in 2023, highlighting the growing need for faster and more transparent cross-border solutions.
