Africans: how are you sending money across borders today? We’re building a better way.

Hi all 👋🏾

I'm part of a small team building AfriX — a digital wallet that helps Africans send and receive local currency across borders instantly (like from Nigeria to Ghana) using blockchain-backed stablecoins and mobile money integrations.

We’re tired of seeing people pay $30–$50 to send $100 across African borders — or waiting 5 days for funds to arrive.

Instead of routing through USD or banks abroad, AfriX lets you:

✅ Send/receive Naira, Cedis, Shillings directly
✅ Use MoMo wallets (MTN, Airtel, M-PESA, etc.) to cash in/out
✅ Pay merchants or people instantly across Africa
✅ Skip FX stress with local currency-backed stablecoins

We’re starting in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, and Egypt, and launching a closed beta in a few months.

🔎 Question for you:
How do you currently send/receive money across African countries?
What’s your biggest frustration? Would you trust a wallet like this?

💬 Let us know in the comments — we’re listening.

(No spam — just beta access and updates when we go live)

Thanks for reading. Hoping to build something truly local and powerful for Africa 🙏🏾

“One Africa. One Network. AfriX.”
