🎧 What would make someone walk away from a stable career to build a payments network across Africa without a safety net?

In the latest episode of The Startup Leap with Yvonne Bajela and Maria Rotilu, our founder and CEO, Dare Okoudjou, shares how he left corporate life and came close to losing his home in the early days of Onafriq.

It’s a story about conviction, community, and building a company for the long term.

Prepaid cards are bridging the gap between local wallets and global commerce. No bank account? No problem. 🌍💳

At Onafriq, we’re connecting prepaid cards to mobile wallets for our partners, making everyday transactions simpler, safer, and more in tune with how people live and move money across the continent.

From mobile wallets to prepaid cards, digital tools are helping more Africans connect to the global economy.

Happy Mother’s Day from Onafriq!

This week, we honour the mothers who believe in dreams and possibilities without wavering.

We’re grateful for the kind of belief that gives us the confidence to drive progress and the courage to dream bigger.

To the women whose conviction fuels real growth and lasting change, thank you.

At Onafriq, we believe meaningful work is about building solutions that make life easier for others.

People like Rachel Muriithi-Nyakabwa, our Product Director, live this every day. She has spent her career designing tools that help people access the financial services they need quickly, simply, and with care.

“I think about real moments, like sending money to my mum in Uganda. If it takes too long, that’s time I could be spending with my child. So we design our products to be fast and easy, because that’s what people need.”

This International Workers’ Day, we’re celebrating the people behind the progress. Those who turn creativity and innovation into real-world impact.

We’ve partnered with Circle to expand access to cross-border payments across Africa🎉🎉

By integrating USDC-powered settlement solutions into our network, we’re making intra-African payments faster and more efficient for individuals and organisations.

This partnership reflects our commitment to building a more affordable and inclusive cross-border payment system that lowers costs, simplifies transactions, and strengthens trust.

We’re not just envisioning the future of payments; we’re actively building it.

These women are shaping the future of tech, one clear system, one bold move, one solid foundation at a time.

At Onafriq, we love learning more about what drives the people behind our work. So we asked three of our brilliant colleagues to share what it means to build a career in tech.

For Maureen Osindi, being a Compliance Officer is all about trust. "Innovation needs a strong foundation. I make sure the bold ideas have something solid to stand on."

Bianca Forbes, our Technical Project Manager, says clearing blockers in workflows made a bigger difference than expected. "We did not just move faster. We created space for better thinking."

And from Shannon Hernandez, Senior Project Manager: "Do not wait to be invited in. There is already room for your ideas."

Representation in tech is not a bonus; it's a necessity. It is how we build better.

How do you design payment infrastructure that actually works across borders?

On Tuesday, 29 April, at Circle Forum Dubai, our Group Chief Commercial Officer, Christian Bwakira, will join a panel with other payment leaders on how digital finance is reshaping African markets.

The discussion will get into what it really takes to build cross-border payment systems that support businesses, platforms, and institutions across the continent.

Catch the session from 2:45 to 3:15 PM (GST).

🌍 Access is just the beginning — understanding is the key.

More people than ever are using mobile money to send, save, and spend -- but not everyone knows how to get the most out of it.

The 2025 GSMA Mobile Money Report shows that nearly 6 in 10 providers are now running digital skills programmes, because knowing how to use mobile money matters as much as having it.

🧠 Learning to spot fraud, set up savings, or pay bills safely can make all the difference.

💡 It’s not just about access — it’s about confidence, safety, and control in the digital world.

🌍 Sending love across borders just got even bigger.

Last year, people sent over $34 billion through mobile money to loved ones! That’s a 22% jump from the year before, making international remittances the fastest-growing mobile money service in the world, according to the GSMA’s latest State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2025.

And guess what? Africa is leading the way, with more than 70% of those cross-border flows happening right here on the continent.

Whether it’s supporting family back home, paying for school fees, or helping a friend in need, mobile money is making it quicker, easier, and more secure to move money where it matters most.

This is what drives us at Onafriq: connecting people, powering dreams, and building a truly borderless Africa where opportunity flows freely.

💛 So next time you send or receive a mobile money transfer — know you’re part of something big.
