Francophone Africa does not get the same attention as its counterparts regarding digital payments and cross-border remittance. Africa recorded a remittance in-flow of about $50 billion in 2019 alone, which has grown tremendously over the years. This led to the inception of several fintech solutions and cross-border payment companies to facilitate seamless cross-border payments in Africa.
However, this sector is quite untapped in countries like Cote d’Ivoire, Benin Republic, Cameroon, Senegal, etc. Cross-border payments in these countries are largely powered by traditional banks and mobile money services, which are saddled with a fair share of loopholes.
Prolonged paperwork, delayed transactions, account restrictions, and high exchange rates are a few challenges facing cross-border payments in Francophone Africa. Other problematic factors include:
- Excessive forex cost margins
- Inefficient bank procedures
- Underdeveloped KYC requirements
- Lack of access to the national ID database
- The uncompetitive nature of the MNOs, etc.
These factors have stalled the growth of foreign remittances in the country. And due to these problems, individuals and businesses in Cote d'Ivoire have few options for a more seamless cross-border transaction. Thankfully, this is where Transfy comes in to save the day.
