Fintech Companies Unite to Lower Remittance Costs in Africa

In an effort to tackle the high costs associated with sending money to Africa, two leading global financial technology companies have partnered. Recent data from the World Bank reveals that sending $200 to sub-Saharan Africa incurs an average fee of 8.72%—making it the most expensive payment corridor worldwide. This situation is further complicated by the fact that over half of adults in the region lack access to formal financial services.

The Partnership for Change

The collaboration between Panda Remit, a prominent money transfer company, and Dlocal, a payment solutions provider specializing in emerging markets, aims to enhance payment services in Africa. By improving speed, affordability, and reliability, this partnership is set to address critical challenges where banking transfers and mobile wallets are vital components for financial inclusion.


Tailored Financial Solutions

With Dlocal’s robust local payment infrastructure, Panda Remit will now provide services customized for regional needs. This includes banking transfers and mobile wallet payments through popular platforms such as M-PESA, Orange, and Airtel, covering the key regions of North, West, and East Africa. Such integration is expected to streamline transactions, minimize costs, and enhance safety and user convenience.

Voices of Leadership

Alfred Yang, the regional head of Panda Remit, emphasized that this partnership aligns with their mission to simplify cross-border payments. He stated, “Expanding our reach in Africa through Dlocal enables us to offer more reliable services that cater to the diverse needs of local beneficiaries.” This sentiment echoes the need for accessible and affordable financial solutions in the region.

Impact on Emerging Markets

Justin Goh, head of China at Dlocal, pointed out that providing transparent and affordable payment options is crucial for millions in emerging markets. Goh noted, “Our collaboration with Panda Remit facilitates quicker and safer transactions, benefiting not just individuals, but also contributing significantly to the broader transformation of the financial ecosystem across the continent.”

A Vision for Financial Inclusion

By working together, Panda Remit and Dlocal are set to spur greater financial inclusion by reducing payment costs, enhancing transaction efficiency, and widening access to cross-border financial services in Africa. Their joint efforts highlight the potential for fintech innovations to create economic opportunities in underserved regions.

Conclusion

The partnership between these two fintech giants marks a significant step toward addressing the challenges associated with sending money to Africa. By focusing on affordability, speed, and reliability, they aim to reshape the financial landscape, ensuring that more individuals can benefit from essential financial services. As they strive to improve access and reduce costs, the future of remittances to Africa looks increasingly promising.
