QuickRemit’s solutions

QuickRemit’s solutions include:

• Mobile App to send money instantly from the UK to Nigeria today, with more African corridors coming soon.
• Bulk Invoice Settlement: Helping African businesses pay suppliers faster and more efficiently.
• API Integrations: Powering other fintechs and partners with QuickRemit’s technology.

“For too long, sending money to Africa has been expensive, slow, and unreliable. Our team is committed to changing that not just for personal remittances, but for the businesses and fintechs that depend on smooth cross-border trade,” said Wellington Agharese, Director and CEO

“At QuickRemit, we recognise the persistent challenges in cross-border payments. For years, a small number of players have dominated the industry, burdening customers with high fees, inefficiencies, and limited transparency. QuickRemit is changing that.

Licensed and regulated in multiple markets, we are building a global payments platform where moving money internationally feels as seamless as making a local transfer. Our infrastructure serves individuals, corporates, fintechs, and PSPs — enabling fast, secure, and compliant last-mile payouts across borders,” he adds.

“This is only the beginning. QuickRemit is committed to shaping the future of cross-border payments with fairness, efficiency, and trust at its core.” – Paul Ofulue, COO and Co-Founder of QuickRemit.

QuickRemit is now opening up its journey to the public via a Crowdcube crowdfunding campaign to raise £500k for expansion and product development, and inviting everyday investors in the UK to own a stake in Africa’s next wave of fintech innovation.
