Send money home instantly. No more waiting days or losing money to fees.

AfriPay is a mobile-first payment platform that makes sending money across Africa as easy as sending a text. Powered by Stellar's lightning-fast blockchain, your family gets their money in seconds, not days—and you keep more of what you send.

• Instant Transfers - Money arrives in 3-5 seconds, not 3-5 days
• Ultra-Low Fees - Pay less than 1% vs 8-10% with traditional services
• Mobile Money Integration - Send directly to MTN, Airtel, M-Pesa wallets
• Multi-Currency Support - NGN, KES, GHS, ZAR, USD, EUR and more
• USSD for Feature Phones - No smartphone? No problem. Dial *123# to send
• Smart Exchange Rates - Best rates from multiple providers
• Payment Links - Share links for easy collection
• Bill Payments - Pay utilities, airtime, subscriptions
• Savings Vaults - Earn yield on your savings with DeFi
• No Bank Account Needed - Just a phone number to get started

We've all been there: sending money home means standing in line, paying outrageous fees, and waiting days for delivery. Your family needs that money now, not next week. AfriPay fixes this:

• No more Western Union lines - Send from your phone, anytime, anywhere
• Keep your money - Save 90% on fees (send $100, they get $99, not $92)
• Real-time delivery - Money arrives before you finish your coffee
• Reach everyone - Works with smartphones AND feature phones
• Total transparency - See exactly what you pay and what they receive
• Built for Africa - By Africans, for Africans, solving African problems
