How US Businesses Can Seamlessly Receive Payments from Africa with Raiz
There is a growing number of African businesses and founders paying for software, tools, professional services, creative services, SaaS subscriptions, licences, consulting, product sourcing and specialist support from the US. The challenge is — receiving payments from African clients without delays and without unnecessary complications is still not as straightforward as it should be.
For US companies, this often results in revenue bottlenecks, long receivable cycles, operational planning issues, and slower cashflow turnaround.
Raiz solves this by enabling US businesses to receive payments from Africa simply, quickly and with predictable value.
The Current Challenge for US Companies Receiving African Payments
Even when value exists and the client is ready to pay, the actual payment journey can be the blocker:
- African clients are limited by complex international remittance steps
- Conversion costs and multiple intermediaries reduce final received amount
- Settlement delays disrupt invoicing cycles
- Some US platforms decline African-issued bank rails
- Traditional banking corridors into the US are slow and inconsistent
This ultimately prevents smooth business relationships — not because of the work, but because the payment layer is outdated.
Raiz Enables Faster Revenue Flow from Africa
Raiz provides a modern cross-border value system that gives African businesses a simple path to send payments internationally, while giving US businesses clarity and speed when receiving them.
For US companies, this means:
- predictable receivables
- no unnecessary global banking intermediaries
- faster settlement into stable value
- fewer compliance hurdles blocking cashflow
Raiz makes international revenue from Africa easier to manage — and easier to scale.
Example Persona Use Cases
US SaaS Tool Used by African Startups
Startups in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra or Kigali want to pay for software the same way startups everywhere else do. Raiz enables these businesses to pay you quickly and reliably, so adoption isn't blocked by banking limitations.
US Consulting & Advisory Firms with African Clients
Consultants working with African corporates and venture-backed companies no longer need to wait weeks for settlement. Raiz gives them the ability to close invoices faster so advisory cycles remain smooth.
US Product Manufacturers Selling to African Retailers
Manufacturers exporting goods or raw materials to Africa can receive payments without fear of settlement delays affecting logistics timelines.
The Competitive Advantage for US Companies
Africa is a fast-expanding buyer base — tech, entertainment, agriculture, fintech solutions, software services, creative services and more. The inability to receive payments smoothly locks US businesses out of a growing commercial market.
Raiz makes entry and scale easier.
Instead of treating Africa as a complex region to transact with, US companies using Raiz can treat Africa as a normal, consistent, predictable revenue corridor.
Reliable cashflow builds trust. Trust builds repeat business. Repeat business builds growth.
Raiz unlocks this flow with stable value rails that simplify cross-border payments for everyone involved — sender and receiver.
