An African student in Berlin no longer needs to wait weeks for family support through expensive wire transfers. A Ghanaian entrepreneur in Amsterdam can now receive payments directly from suppliers back home. Nigerian parents can instantly send money to their children studying at Oxford or the Sorbonne.

These scenarios are now reality. Users across our global network can send money directly TO bank accounts in the United Kingdom and 27+ European countries—transforming how African diaspora communities stay financially connected.

While European users have long been able to send money through Afriex, this capability transforms the UK and EU into receiving destinations, joining Canada as another key diaspora region where families and businesses can receive funds instantly.

Completing the Circle: Two-Way Financial Flow

With this enhancement, Afriex now operates a truly bidirectional network across 50 plus countries. European users have been part of our sender network for years, but now UK and EU recipients can receive direct bank transfers from:

Africa: Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Africa (Sending will be enabled for more African countries soon)

‍North America: United States, Canada

Europe itself: 27 EU countries plus the United Kingdom

These sender countries can also send money instantly to banks and mobile money accounts in

Africa (20+ countries): Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Egypt, and more

‍North America: Canada

Asia: Pakistan, China, India

Europe: 27 EU countries plus the United Kingdom

This creates seamless money flow in both directions—European users can send globally through Afriex, while recipients in Europe can now receive funds directly to their local bank accounts.

Real Impact, Real Solutions

This receiving capability addresses critical needs that were previously underserved:

Diaspora Support

African families living in Europe can now receive direct support from relatives across our global network. Previously, they would need to use costly traditional services or wait for indirect transfers through multiple intermediaries.

Student Funding

International students from Africa studying in UK and European universities can receive education funding directly to their local bank accounts, eliminating the complexity of international wire transfers.

Business Payments

African businesses can now pay European suppliers, partners, and service providers directly, while our bulk payment processing services enable companies to handle large-scale transactions efficiently across our entire network.

Completing Our Vision

What sets Afriex apart is our focus on building truly bidirectional financial rails. While European users could already send money globally through our platform, this update completes the circle by making Europe a receiving destination as well.

Our infrastructure enables:

• Direct bank transfers to UK and European accounts from any sender market
• Instant Afriex-to-Afriex transfers between users, with easy local withdrawals
• Transparent fee structures with no hidden correspondent banking charges
• Real-time processing across our entire 50+ country network
• Flexible receiving options - direct bank transfers or Afriex wallet transfers with local withdrawal

This bidirectional capability is particularly powerful for African diaspora communities in Europe, who can now seamlessly receive and send money using the same platform their families use back home.

Looking Forward

This enhancement represents a key milestone in our vision of seamless financial connectivity. By making Europe both a sending and receiving region, we're creating the infrastructure that enables true financial inclusion for African diaspora communities worldwide.

As we continue developing our network, our focus remains on eliminating the barriers that prevent smooth money movement across borders. This European receiving capability joins our existing infrastructure in Canada, creating multiple pathways for diaspora communities to stay financially connected with their global networks.

Whether you're supporting family in Europe, paying for services, or managing business operations across continents, Afriex now provides the complete solution you need.
