Overcoming barriers to international transfers

Onafriq addresses the biggest challenges of transferring money across borders in Africa: different banks and mobile money systems don’t work well together, creating inefficiency, delays and added costs. Onafriq’s systems reduce the hassle and expense of cost-border transactions.
