Uber
With Flutterwave it’s a one-time set up to take care of all your payment processing needs.
When Uber decided to step into the African market, the first concern was being able to accept and payout in local currencies that would be beneficial for everyone. With Flutterwave, they were able to focus on the ride-sharing experience, knowing that our secure solid infrastructure would manage verifying transactions and ensuring payouts occurred consistently. We created an inclusive platform that handles marketplaces with ease.
TransferWise takes going global seriously, which is why they came to us. Building a business model across borders can get complicated when making sure to maintain within regulations, verifying foreign accounts, and staying on top of exchange rates. Our technology takes on those challenges with a simple dashboard. Plus, we’ve done the legwork to stay compliant as a global payments gateway and in each country you want to operate.
Flywire
Providing a trusted platform for international students
Building off Flutterwave’s strong payment gateway, Flywire has expanded their global community of students to the African market. Bridging the perilous gap between your home country and your large tuition payments abroad, Flywire can take trusted payments from any country and payout directly to the educational institution. Knowing they have our infrastructure to support growth, they have been able to quickly expand to the healthcare industry.
In search of a strong partner to expand to new markets. Developing new markets for an established company can be challenging and costly. With Booking.com, Flutterwave was able to provide a safe payment platform solution that connected them to the African market. Our local expertise alleviated the pressure to find a credible payment processor and let them focus their resources on connecting travelers to Africa.
