Always By Your Side: Putting the OAPay Community at the Center of Every Transfer

“Together is Better”—is a phrase that we swear by at OAPay.

Flashback to a few years ago, our founders saw an opportunity to democratize money and make it more accessible. So they took on the mission to build a one-stop platform for international money transfers to Africa. With millions of immigrants striving tirelessly to earn and save—our founders envisioned a platform for Africa, by Africa, to make sending money a joy, not a journey. Here's to supporting what matters most! 

We’re all pumped with our recent brand refresh exercise. More importantly, we’re excited to unpack what this means for you, our growing community, and your loved ones who rely on us.

We care because we’ve been there

After a series of multiple experiences as well as first-hand occurrences—where the current remittance systems failed to match up, our founders saw an opportunity to turn things around and make life meaningfully better for tens of millions of people around the world.

With ground-level experience, our founders understand the pain points of individuals and businesses when it comes to making seamless international fund transfers. They believed that sending a bit of ‘home’ back should be fast, fair, and friendly.

Above all, we’re driven by a mission that is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to empowering the African diaspora to take charge of their future and participate in a more economically inclusive world.

Zero fees, maximum benefits

We have embarked on a mission to build an Africa-first solution that makes international money transfers even better, ensuring your money makes it home at full speed.

Along with ensuring transferring money is as simple as sending a text message, we also take pride in offering the best rates on the market (trust us, they are unbeatable). We make sure your money travels fast across borders and there’s always more for your loved ones back home. 

How do we make this happen? In an industry ridden with hidden fees, we stand tall in our commitment to ensuring fairness and transparency with every transfer. We do not take any cut from what you transfer. Every penny you send arrives in full—no cuts, no deductions.

Bringing you close to what matters to you

Be it supporting your loved ones with timely fund transfers or pursuing dreams in a new country—we're here to empower you every step of the way.

OAPay is a celebration of the people and cultures that we serve. We’re transforming remittance services by taking a customer-centric approach. Our vision, strategies, and people are bound by the need to stand with the African diaspora and help you keep your dreams alive in places you choose to call home.

We truly believe that the advancement of the African diaspora worldwide will transcend personal prosperity and go beyond to have a ripple effect that uplifts homes, reshapes entire communities, and significantly contributes to the growth of the broader global economy.

In line with this, we’re offering affordable remittance services and financial opportunities that will be critical to building sustainable wealth across the diaspora. We also believe that user experience is the most valuable currency contributing to brand reputation, and so we at OAPay are fully committed to safeguarding it at all costs.

A brand with a purpose

From day one, we set out to create a brand that is deliberately different. We’re backing immigrants, the everyday superheroes who are going the extra mile and charging forward for the people they love and care for.

OAPay is led by strong advocates of women’s empowerment who believe in the power of educating women and breaking the chains of discrimination. For every successful transfer via OAPay that you make, we extend our support for safe childbirth by funding local hospitals and registered charitable programs that are working to lower mortality rates.

By your side, always

To those building a life far from home, with roots in their homeland—we see you, and we’re here to make every effort worthwhile. While you're chasing dreams in new cities, you continue to carry your home country in your hearts. It is this resilience and courage that we're inspired by, pushing us to go beyond limitations to build solutions that make this journey count for you.

With our recent brand overhaul, we’re going even further, reaching new countries and touching more lives. Leveraging the best in technology and harnessing the talents of African developers—we’re creating inclusive financial tools to build a better future for all because sending love shouldn’t be a hassle, and we’re making sure it isn’t.
