💸Ride The MoneyWave Into 2017
An API For African Money Transfers
Something about platforms excite me and Flutterwave is showing its strength as a foremost player in payments across Africa. Today, they announced Moneywave by Flutterwave, A collection of APIs that makes it easier for businesses to build fully customisable money transfer platforms, online banking, mobile banking or AI solutions.
In addition to border-less transactions, you can generate instant virtual cards via their APIs. We see Moneywave is already powering products such as Thrivesend and PayMe, but the possibility that lies ahead is more exciting.
If this platform play works, it means anyone can build a payment solution for anything. How about the pricing? It’s 45 Naira, Cedis, KSH charge per card. Payments is really getting heated up.
What a time to really be alive and ride the wave.
