July 16, 2025, Cairo, Egypt: Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, today announces the launch of Send App in Egypt, an important and strategic new chapter in its mission to simplify cross-border payments and connect Africa to the global economy. With this launch, Flutterwave extends its trusted and unrivalled remittance solution into one of North Africa’s largest and most dynamic markets, enabling Egyptians in the United Kingdom, USA, and other countries to send money home.
Egyptians abroad play a critical role in supporting families and communities back home. In the last year alone, remittances from the Egyptian diaspora totaled an estimated $32.6 billion, according to the Central Bank of Egypt. Yet, many still rely on informal channels or outdated processes to move money across borders. Flutterwave’s Send App changes that, offering a simple, mobile-first experience that ensures funds arrive fast and are collected with ease.
“For Flutterwave, launching Send App in Egypt is about more than just expanding our footprint,” said Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave. “It’s about empowering people and communities. We’re connecting Egyptians abroad with their families back home, supporting household needs, celebrating milestones, and helping build financial bridges. Our vision is to make Africa feel more connected by making money move faster. Egypt is a vital part of that mission, and we’re proud to contribute to its growth by enabling easier, safer remittances.”
Through Flutterwave’s trusted payments network, recipients can now pick up their funds in cash nationwide. This ensures money gets where it’s needed, quickly and reliably, whether it’s parents in Cairo, a student in Alexandria, or relatives in smaller towns and rural areas.
Flutterwave’s expertise in building financial infrastructure across Africa powers the reliability behind the Send App. As a trusted partner to governments, banks, and global platforms like Uber and Air Peace, Flutterwave brings its world-class security, compliance, and speed to every transaction on the app.
