LONDON – 07 APRIL, 2022 – Paysend, the UK-based fintech with over 6.5 million customers, today announces a technology partnership with Afrimoney, the mobile money service provided by Africell, to enable money transfers to West Africa, specifically The Gambia and Sierra Leone.
Through the partnership, which is powered by MFS Africa, Paysend will enable users to send money across borders via Africell to The Gambia and Sierra Leone, with the funds reaching Afrimoney mobile wallets. With features like low fixed fees on money transfers, competitive exchange rates and the ability to receive instant international payments, Paysend is transforming how communities in West Africa manage money globally.
For a limited 30-day period, Paysend is offering fee-free transfers to digital wallets in The Gambia and Sierra Leone until the end of May. Recipients will also receive an equivalent 2 USD bonus, credited by Afrimoney. Customers will also enjoy their first three transfers to digital wallets for improved exchange rates. To start sending money to West Africa, download the Paysend app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit www.paysend.com to find out more.
