Payrit Developers

Simplifying payments by helping African travelers make instant payments in any country using only their local currency.

At Payrit, we are building a mobile-first cross-border wallet to power our mission of providing instant global payments to every African. We simplify the complexity of FX conversions and rate matching across corridors, as well as the loss of value associated with making online or in-person payments across borders.

Our Vision

Payrit’s vision is to empower African travelers and migrants with seamless, secure, and affordable access to global financial systems. We aim to build the most trusted cross-border wallet for Africa, making it as easy to send, spend, and receive money internationally as it is locally. By removing financial barriers, we’re enabling a new generation of Africans to thrive in a truly connected world, all on their mobile phone.

Key Features

  • Instant payments using only local currencies
  • Spend from any connected account
  • ⁠Hold digital dollars
  • Swap digital dollars to and from local currencies instantly
  • Grow your money by investing in global stocks and mutual funds

Our Impact

African travelers face difficulties in accessing FX, fraud risk, and declined payments, often leading to situations where they are stranded and end up saying, "I have money, but I can't spend my money." We are changing this narrative by allowing them to spend their money in their local currency.
