Why Cross-Border Payments Still Cost Too Much
Every year, millions of Africans working abroad send money home to support families, pay tuition, and invest in small businesses. But for too long, they’ve faced an invisible tax — high transfer fees, poor exchange rates, and delayed delivery times.
Traditional remittance systems can charge up to 10–15% in total fees, meaning for every $100 sent, as much as $15 disappears into processing and intermediary costs. For those sending funds multiple times a month, these losses add up quickly.
The Real Problem: Layers of Intermediaries
Most traditional payment systems rely on multiple middlemen — correspondent banks, currency processors, and clearing networks — each taking a cut. The result? Slow, expensive, and often opaque transfers.
At ZizaPay, we asked: What if technology could simplify that chain — and return control to the user?
ZizaPay’s Solution: Fintech-Powered Fairness
ZizaPay uses real-time exchange rates, end-to-end encryption, and direct clearing pathways to reduce transaction layers. That means fewer intermediaries, lower costs, and faster delivery.
We believe sending money home should not be a privilege — it should be a right. Our platform empowers Africans to transact globally without losing value to hidden margins or outdated systems.
Transparency and Trust at the Core
Unlike traditional operators, ZizaPay shows you exactly what you pay and what your recipient receives — before you hit “Send.”
We charge a small, flat transaction fee, clearly displayed upfront. No hidden rates, no surprise deductions.
This transparency is part of our DNA — because trust is the real currency of fintech.
The Broader Impact: Financial Inclusion
Affordable digital payments don’t just make life easier — they create opportunity. They enable parents to fund education, entrepreneurs to grow cross-border businesses, and families to plan futures with confidence.
By reducing transaction costs, ZizaPay is unlocking millions in value for African communities and fueling economic resilience across the continent.
The Future of Money Is Borderless
As we continue to expand, our focus remains clear: simplify, accelerate, and democratize global payments for every African.
Because the future of money isn’t just digital — it’s inclusive.
