Your Monthly Product Roundup [August 2021]

Market expansions, improved user experience and stronger infrastructure – August was filled with lots of wins for our customers and for us! 

Here’s a roundup of all the exciting new features and updates that were rolled out, and a sneak peek of what’s coming up next!

API Platform

Adding a new country to our business payments network 

We expanded our B2B payment rails by adding a new market, South Africa. You can now pay businesses in EUR, GBP and GHS with ease at the most competitive rates via our API.

Web Platform

Introducing a faster and easier way to make payments: document automation ????

In order to create a better user experience for our customers, we have gone a step further to automate the regulatory documentary source of funds form.

What does this mean?
You can now complete the form directly on our platform without going through the hassle of printing, filling out, scanning and reuploading the document.

That’s not all! 

We are currently working on more innovations specifically to streamline our user experience and onboarding journey as well as more innovations in the UEMOA region, and we can not wait to share this with you. Watch out for our next update for more details!
