Managing a small business comes with a lot of moving parts — product development, customer service, marketing, and, of course, paying your team. If you have employees or contractors across Africa, traditional payment methods can be slow, expensive, and complicated. Wire transfers, multiple banking platforms, and fluctuating exchange rates create headaches for business owners.

That’s where Afriex comes in. Designed for businesses that operate across borders, Afriex makes it fast, easy, and affordable to pay teams anywhere in Africa. Whether your staff is in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, or beyond, you can pay them directly to bank accounts or mobile wallets in minutes.

• Fast transfers: Payments arrive instantly, reducing delays that affect employees and operations.
• Low fees: Afriex keeps transaction costs transparent, saving businesses money on every transfer.
  Multi-currency support: Hold and convert currencies like USD, EUR, NGN, GHS, and more before sending.
• Wide coverage: Pay employees in over 48 African countries, from Algeria to Zambia.

Paying Teams in Africa Made Simple

A Practical Example

Consider Lydia, a small business owner in the UK with a team of developers and designers across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. Before using Afriex, she had to manage three different banks, pay high international fees, and wait days for payments to clear.

Now, Lydia loads her Afriex wallet with USD, watches exchange rates, and sends payments directly to her team members’ bank accounts or mobile wallets. Transfers arrive within minutes, costs are predictable, and she can manage all payroll in one place.

This simplicity saves her time and reduces stress, letting her focus on growing her business instead of tracking payments.
