About Raiz

For too long, Africans and African businesses have faced barriers when sending money home, paying suppliers abroad, or collecting payments from global clients. Traditional banks make cross-border payments slow, expensive, and unpredictable.

Raiz is changing that. We've built a borderless financial platform that empowers individuals and businesses to move money effortlessly across continents — whether you're in Lagos or London, Nairobi or New York.

With multi-currency wallets (USD & Naira), instant FX swaps, remittances to 20+ countries, and a virtual dollar card for global shopping, Raiz makes international money management simple.

For businesses, Raiz enables fast, compliant payouts to Africa, collections from international partners, and stablecoin-powered settlements that reduce cost and waiting time.

From freelancers and families to startups and corporations, Raiz is building the financial rails for Africa's global economy — making it easy to send, receive, and grow without borders.
