Features

What the app does.

The complete transfer journey, from opening the app to the money arriving.

No sign-up to browse

Rates, fees and recipients are available without an email, password or account.

Live rate, locked

The rate is fetched live and held while the sender completes the transfer.

Account name check

The sender enters an account number and the bank returns the account holder's name. This catches wrong account numbers before money moves.

Saved recipients

Repeat transfers to the same person take a few taps.

Reason for transfer

Nigeria and Kenya require a stated reason on inbound money. The app collects it.

Three ways to pay

Approve in your banking app, push a bank transfer, or pay by card.

ID check at the end

Identity verification runs when the sender taps Send, not when they open the app.

Status tracking

Initiated → converted → paid out, updated as each stage completes.

Architecture

How the money moves.

Four steps. The app handles the first two. A licensed provider handles the last two.

1

Money in

The sender pays by card, Apple Pay, or an approved bank transfer in the UK.

2

The ledger

The app's database records who sent what, to whom, and at which rate.

3

Currency exchange

GBP is converted to NGN, KES or GHS at a wholesale rate. The business margin is added on top.

4

Money out

The recipient receives local currency in their bank account or mobile wallet, usually within seconds.

Steps 3 and 4 are handled by a licensed provider through their API. That is standard — it is how Revolut, Wise and LemFi all started. The app connects to it.

The provider

One API covers steps 1, 3 and 4.

Currencycloud, now part of Visa Direct

Visa bought them in 2021. They hold the licences, and through one API they accept the GBP, perform the exchange, and pay out to African bank accounts. Revolut used Currencycloud from its 2015 launch until it obtained its own banking licence.

The demo is already connected to their sandbox. Going live means swapping the API key for a live one.

Worth knowing early: under this arrangement your customers accept Currencycloud's terms alongside yours, and are told the payment service is provided by Currencycloud. You keep the brand, the app and the customer relationship.

To go live

What it costs to go live.

$5k – $15k

Provider onboarding — business due diligence, plus the first few months of platform fees.

Indicative. Currencycloud publishes no rate card, so onboarding and monthly minimums are negotiated once due diligence starts.

Alternatives

Lower-cost providers.

No large upfront fee, if you'd rather start smaller.

Paystack · Flutterwave

Sign up online. Pay per transaction, nothing upfront.

No setup fee

Bridge

Owned by Stripe. Moves money on stablecoin rails instead of bank wires.

Different rail

Yellow Card

Covers 20 African markets. Pays out to mobile money and local bank transfer.

Africa-first

The choice doesn't affect the app — switching provider is a settings change, not a rebuild. It can be decided later.
