THE CHALLENGE
Locally, your name means everything. The moment a deal crosses a border, that reputation vanishes — and you're back to wiring money to someone you've never met and hoping it works out.
You've spent years building a reputation at home. A buyer in another country can't see any of it — so every deal starts from zero: references, samples, second-guessing. Or it never starts at all.
7 in 10 cross-border deals stall on trust
Wire transfers disappear into the void. Currency conversions eat your profits. Chargebacks leave you exposed. It's a financial minefield.
$12B+ lost annually to payment friction (part of broader trade gap)
25 countries live today, 44 African countries across the continent — each with different regulatory frameworks. Customs, compliance, documentation—it's enough to make you give up before you start.
4+ months wasted on compliance per deal
$80 Billion
Lost annually to failed cross-border trade in Africa
