Africa Pays a 300% Premium
to Move Its Own Money
Four structural failures holding back $2.5 trillion in African trade annually
Exorbitant Costs
Average cost per cross-border payment in Africa vs 6.3% global average — SMEs bleed millions annually on avoidable fees.
Painful Delays
Settlement time for typical African cross-border payment. Cash tied up = missed procurement windows and supply chain disruption.
Supplier Fraud
Lost annually to cross-border supplier fraud in Africa. No neutral escrow. No verification. No recourse after payment.
Trade Finance Desert
Annual SME trade finance gap in Africa. Traditional banks require excessive collateral, reject 60% of SME applications.
