Africa’s leading payment technology company, Flutterwave, has announced the return of Send App to Europe, a year after the service was paused.

Flutterwave in June 2024 paused money transfers from the European Union (EU) using its Send App. It said the pause was due to maintenance.

Europe is home to one of the largest and most vibrant African diaspora communities globally. According to the World Bank, remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are set to reach $690 billion in 2025, fuelled by increasing global mobility and the growing commitment of diasporas to support their home countries. The return of Send App empowers the African diaspora in Europe with a cost-effective way to send money home, strengthening these vital connections.

Flutterwave stated that the resumption reflects its commitment to keeping Africans connected through seamless and reliable payments, regardless of their global location.

It said that with upgraded infrastructure designed for faster processing and stronger security, Send App ensures that every transfer is delivered with both speed and confidence.

The service now supports money transfers from Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, and other African countries, including Nigeria, Egypt, Cameroon, and Côte d’Ivoire.

It also allows users to complete their transactions using Visa cards or direct bank transfers, with plans to add other payment options.

Founder/ CEO, Flutterwave, Olugbenga Agboola, said, “This isn’t just a resumption; it’s a renewed commitment to our community. Send App in Europe means more speed, more choice, more security, and more value for Africans sending money back home, knowing their transfers are safe and seamless every step of the way.”
