Revolutionising cross-border payments with Onafriq
Originally known as MFS Africa, Onafriq’s mission is to make money transfers in Africa easier. Onafriq’s technology connects millions of people in African and beyond, making them a leader in the digital payments market and major driver of financial inclusion.
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.
