Flutterwave and American Express at Semafor’s Next 3 Billion Summit
Commenting on the essence of Flutterwave’s partnership with payment industry leaders like America Express, our Founder and CEO said, “If you have an American Express card right now in New York, you can pay a Nigerian merchant on our platform and enjoy a seamless payment experience. And that expands the market size for an average African enterprise or a global merchant who wants to get paid in Africa. The whole point is we want to make Africa the hub of payment across the world. Not just for Africa alone, but want to also make it easy for any company operating anywhere in the world to bring their business to us in Africa.”
