Flutterwave Launches Send App in Ghana

Flutterwave has officially launched its Send App in Ghana, a major milestone on its journey to simplify international remittances for both individuals and businesses. With the release of the Flutterwave Send App in Ghana, users can now get money from abroad automatically transferred into their bank accounts or mobile money wallet via well known payment schemes like MTN Mobile Money, Telecel Cash, AirtelTigo Money and Viber.

Flutterwave Send App Ghana is a cross-border payment app. Whether you’re sending money directly to your family, paying tuition fees, or managing your business operations, the app offers an easy-to-use and competitive fee structure so that recipients can maximize the value of their payments.

Security is a major concern to Flutterwave as well. The app has been certified by PCI-DSS Level 1 which is the highest level in the payments industry. With this certification, we ensure that all transactions are encrypted and protected against fraud and unauthorized access.

Flutterwave Founder and CEO, Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, said in a statement the platform was excited to announce the launch of Send App in Ghana. “With the Send App now live in Ghana, we are providing a fast, reliable and accessible solution for individuals and business to receive international payments without stress. This is a big step forward in our vision of connecting Africa to the global economy,” said Agboola.

The announcement was in response to Flutterwave’s recent approval from the Bank of Ghana, to offer inward remittance services to its clients in the country. The approval is part of a fintech landscape which has been taking off in Ghana as the country has seen an expansion of the mobile phone population and a rapidly maturing mobile money ecosystem. Mobile money platforms are critical to Ghana’s economy with about 60 per cent of foreign exchange going through them. Since the Bank of Ghana’s establishment, there has been a favourable regulatory framework to facilitate and foster fintech innovation. As such, Ghana makes perfect business sense for Flutterwave.

Flutterwave has been expanding fast across Africa and the world. In 2024 alone, the company announced expansion into five new African countries, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Mozambique and now Ghana, and now has established itself in more than 35 countries. With its new Payment Service Provider license, Flutterwave can now take many of its existing services and offer them faster and more efficiently than before – without the need for third party providers.

Flutterwave has begun an extensive expansion of its payments ecosystem across Africa, with today launching Flutterwave Send App Ghana. In addition to providing safe and efficient payments for remittance recipients, it has set out to help promote financial inclusion and economic development.

As digital payments continue to become more common and popular within the Ghanaian community, with experts predicting that the digital payments market will reach $12. 96 billion by 2028, the Send App will play an integral part in connecting Ghanaians with global financial connections.

Flutterwave has transformed the way Africans receive financial services, building on a revolutionary approach. Since its inception in 2016, the fintech startup has completed more than 630 million transactions worth $31 billion globally. With its Flutterwave Send App Ghana project, Flutterwave continues to empower communities across Africa to fulfill their financial needs.
