Cross-border payments just changed for good.

Real-time, affordable transfers from Ghana to Nigeria are now live.

This marks a new chapter for West African businesses, workers and families.

🔹Instant transfers
🔹Better rates
🔹Trusted infrastructure

This solution has been built with the people who drive Africa’s economy in mind: Traders, students, SMEs and entrepreneurs.

Ghana to Nigeria. Simple, fast, and secure.

Paying across borders shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you’re restocking, supporting family or buying from your favourite vendor, there’s a better way.

With Onafriq and PAPSS, payments from Ghana to Nigeria are easier than ever.

How do you usually pay across borders?

💸 Bank transfer
📱 MoMo or fintech apps
🧍🏽‍♂️ Ask a friend or family to pay
🔁 Settle later
🙅🏾‍♀️ I don’t. It’s too complex

How does money move across markets? Like this.

Sending money across African countries isn’t a single click. It’s a carefully designed journey that ensures your transfer is secure, compliant, and reliable.

Here’s how it usually works:
1. It starts with you. Whether you're sending from your bank account, mobile wallet or another provider, the process begins at the source.

2. The money travels through local systems. That could mean a bank, wallet operator or another licensed partner in your country.

3. It’s passed through a secure switch or intermediary. This is where compliance checks happen, and sometimes the currency is converted.

4. Some steps are instant. Others take a little longer, especially when identity checks or fraud prevention measures are involved.

5. The money reaches its destination. That could be a wallet, a bank account or a payout location, depending on where and how the recipient wants it.

It might look simple on your screen, but behind the scenes, it's a well-connected network doing the hard work for you, not by chance, but by design.

Ndeewo. Sawubona. Jambo.

Three ways to say hello.

No two places in Africa greet alike, and no two countries handle payments the same way either.

Building digital payment solutions here means understanding how people live, earn, and manage their money. It’s not about applying one system across the board.

Digital payments are growing three times faster in Africa than the global average. But scaling these takes local insight, not just global ambition.

Il y a quinze ans, tout partait d'une question : Et si envoyer de l’argent à travers l’Afrique était aussi simple qu’un coup de fil?

Cette question est le début d'une aventure qui connecte aujourd’hui un milliard de portefeuilles mobiles et plus de 500 millions de comptes bancaires sur le continent.

Nous avons aidé des familles à s'entraider, des entreprises à se développer et des rêves à se réaliser au-delà des frontières.

Et cette aventure continue. Nous travaillons toujours pour une Afrique unie et un monde ouvert, où chacun peut accéder aux outils nécessaires pour s’épanouir.

Merci de faire partie de cette aventure.

En route pour les quinze prochaines années de progrès, de connexions et de possibilités.

Fifteen years ago, a question sparked something big: What if sending money across Africa could be as easy as making a phone call?

That question led to a journey, one that now connects one billion mobile wallets and more than 500 million bank accounts across the continent.

We’ve made it easier for families to support one another, for businesses to grow, and for dreams to cross borders.

And that journey isn’t over. We’re still building toward one Africa and one world, where everyone can access the tools they need to thrive.

Thank you for being part of the story.

Here’s to the next fifteen years of progress, connection and possibility.

This Nelson Mandela Day, we remember a leader who showed the power of dignity, justice and unity.

The 2025 theme, “It is in our hands to combat poverty and inequality”, reminds us that big change starts with small, consistent action right where we are.

Every time someone is able to send money, get paid, or grow a business easily, we take one step closer to a more equal and connected Africa.

This 18 July, let’s honour Madiba by choosing action. However we can, with whatever we have.

What are instant or real-time payments?

Real-time payments are money transfers that clear and settle within seconds, even outside of business hours, such as at night or on weekends. They help people send and receive money quickly, reliably and securely, whether it's across town or across borders.

You hit ''send'' and the money zips off. But it doesn't travel in a straight line. It might pass through banks, mobile money platforms, or money transfer operators along the way. Each one has its own set of checks and rules.

If there's ever a slight delay, it's not a glitch. It's a safety check. Just enough time to make sure your money's on the right track, going to the right person.

Fast is good. Safe and fast is better.

From dreamer to decision-maker: Grace’s journey is proof that your path can lead anywhere.

As a child, Grace Anyetei wanted to be an architect. Today, she’s one of the driving forces behind Onafriq’s card products across South and Eastern Africa and leads our business in Kenya. 🇰🇪

In her recent Chats With T interview, Grace shared lessons that hit home for anyone trying to build a future in tech or business. “Don’t doubt yourself. You know your stuff. Sit at the table like you earned it, because you have.”

Grace’s story is a reminder that with the right support, anything is possible.

💡 Why do remittances matter?

When someone sends money home from abroad, it's about more than bills or groceries. It's about keeping families connected and communities thriving.

Remittances sent by family and friends support loved ones back home. That money goes toward school fees, hospital visits, farming supplies or new business ideas. It keeps life moving forward.

Every transfer matters, and behind every transaction is a story, a sacrifice, and a dream for something better.

Whether you're sending love or receiving support, Onafriq takes our responsibility to deliver that money very seriously.
