At AZA, we have journeyed through five years of improving our service, listening carefully to what our customers need. Today, we unveil BFX, a new platform for our customers who are constantly seeking ease and speed in conducting their FX transactions. This iteration is a step in our commitment to serving every customer, from large multinationals and remittance companies to traders. BFX presents a simpler, more intuitive flow based on customer feedback.

New Features
Over the years, we’ve had a couple iterations of the BFX platform. The vision and purpose has always been the same — to create innovative, financial solutions for frontier markets. This time is no different, and we hope this new upgrade of the BFX website will not only improve user experience, but pave way to an array of improved products this year. When you visit platform.tradebfx.com, you will notice some new features:

• Sign up/login interface is completely revamped to present a smoother, more intuitive flow from the dashboard to transaction creation. The account verification is process is also faster and more straightforward. For existing customers, please use the same email and password log into BFX.
• Make EUR and GBP payments: In addition to the already available currency pairs, it is now possible to make payments between Africa and Europe within one business day with our new integration! 
• Save recipients: You can now add and save frequently used contacts to use every time you transact.

New Pages

• New blog: Our spruced up blog will feature more guides, updates and inside stories!
• Careers: Keep up with all AZA openings as soon as they are available on our careers page.

Improving our API

Since making our API available in 2016, we have shipped many improvements that have seen our clients build apps upon a sturdy infrastructure that allows them to focus on building their reach in Africa. With our API, businesses have completed millions of dollars in transactions to thousands of people in Nigeria, Uganda and Ghana. Through working with different customers who have different needs, we have made the following available:

• Create user and sender profiles to collect KYC documentation for them.
• Send and receive currencies, including NGN, GHS, UGX, GBP and EUR.
• Store, repeat and automate past transactions.
• Gather data for internal reconciliation with easy reporting and tool.
• Webhook notifications when transaction states change.

These new changes and more on the way have been made possible by years of hard work by the passionate AZA team members who have ensured we ship this new interface in good time. We are truly grateful to everyone involved in this effort and to our awesome customers who are the reason we do this everyday.
