Flutterwave Launches New Remittance Service to Strengthen Ties in Malawi
In an exciting development for the future of financial technology in Africa, Flutterwave, the prominent African paytech company, has made significant strides by obtaining an ‘International Money Transfer Operators’ (IMTO) license from the Reserve Bank of Malawi. This groundbreaking achievement enables Flutterwave to officially launch its flagship remittance service, the Send App, in Malawi. Designed to cater specifically to the needs of Malawian communities both at home and abroad, this app promises to revolutionize the way families connect through financial support.
Bridging Distances with Improved Financial Solutions
With the launch of the Send App, residents of Malawi, along with Malawian communities residing in the UK, US, and Europe, can now send money back home with ease, benefiting from competitive exchange rates. The app is user-friendly, supporting transactions through mobile apps and web devices. In addition to 24/7 in-app customer assistance, users will have access to a dedicated support team ready to assist with any inquiries. This service aims not only to ease financial transactions but also to strengthen the connections between family members separated by distance.
Flutterwave’s Send App adheres to the highest global security standards, ensuring that users’ data and funds are protected throughout every transaction. The app was relaunched in 2023, expanding transfer capabilities to include the US and Canada, and marking a vital step in solidifying the company’s role in enhancing remittance services targeted at Africans living abroad.
Meeting Personal Needs in Malawi
According to Flutterwave’s founder and CEO, Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, the company is committed to delivering substantial value to those who need it most. In a statement, Agboola emphasized the significance of remittances in supporting personal needs within Malawi, stating, “With Send App’s arrival, we are better positioned to support Malawians who want to receive money from the diaspora.”
This launch signifies a promising new chapter for Malawi, which has the potential to thrive with the introduction of innovative financial solutions. Agboola further hinted at an expanding roadmap ahead, saying, “We’ll continue innovating to make Send App available to as many people as possible across Africa.”
Local Insight and Passion
Lumbani Gondwe, the country manager for Malawi, echoed these sentiments, adding, “Send App was built to connect families, friends, and loved ones seamlessly no matter the distance.” Lumbani emphasized Malawi’s vibrant spirit as “the heart of Africa,” which thrives on creating meaningful connections among its people.
Flutterwave is also actively working on adding Mobile Money and Cash Pickup options to amplify its services, looking to enhance accessibility and convenience for users. “We’re dedicated to improving our bank coverage and ensuring that our services reach the widest possible audience. Our mission is to facilitate affordable, quick, and secure transfers for Malawians, whether at home or abroad,” Lumbani stated confidently.
