Send App by Flutterwave Returns to the U.S., Empowering Transfers to Africa

For millions of Africans living in the United States, sending money home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a lifeline, a love letter in digits, a way to say “I’m still here with you,” across oceans and time zones.

Now, that bond just got a powerful boost.

On July 3, 2025, in the bustling tech heart of San Francisco, Flutterwave—the payments giant connecting Africa to the world—announced the triumphant return of its beloved Send App to the U.S. market. But this wasn’t just a routine relaunch; it was the beginning of a renewed promise.

More Than Just an App, It’s a Lifeline

After months of strategic groundwork, Flutterwave has activated 20 new Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs), building on the 14 licenses it already held. With 34 direct licenses in total, Send App is now cleared to operate seamlessly—without intermediaries—across numerous U.S. states and territories.

For users, this means faster, more secure, and more direct remittances to countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Egypt—some of the most vital corridors for African diaspora families.

But perhaps more importantly, it means freedom. The freedom to support parents, fund education, and keep the light of connection glowing brightly between continents.

A Seamless Experience Reimagined

Flutterwave didn’t just relaunch Send App—it reimagined the experience from the ground up. The new user onboarding is smoother, with a fast and secure ID verification that gets users started in minutes. Payment support has also expanded, now accepting US-issued Visa and Discover cards, and fortified with enhanced security protocols to ensure compliance and peace of mind.

The app’s interface has been refined for efficiency and clarity, with simplified flows making it easier than ever to send support across borders.

Where Can You Use It?

From the historic streets of Washington, D.C., to the bustling suburbs of Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Michigan, Send App is live. It’s also active in Tennessee and South Carolina, with reach extending to more than two dozen additional states and territories, including Puerto Rico, Illinois, Arizona, and Oregon.

This isn’t just a launch—it’s a movement. And it’s growing.

A Mission Renewed

Speaking on the milestone, Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, founder and CEO of Flutterwave, reflected on the broader significance:

“By expanding our reach and enhancing our services, we are empowering millions of Africans in the U.S. to maintain strong financial ties with their home countries. This is about family, community, and development. We are bridging Africa with the global economy—and vice versa.”

Earlier this year, Flutterwave integrated Swap into the Send App, simplifying foreign exchange for users. It also secured inward remittance approval from the Bank of Ghana, strengthening its grip on key African financial corridors.

In the End, It’s About Connection

The Flutterwave Send App isn’t just back. It’s stronger, faster, and more aligned with the needs of the diaspora than ever before.

Behind every transfer is a story. A sacrifice. A prayer. With Send App now live again across the U.S., those stories continue—uninterrupted, secure, and filled with purpose.

Africa is just a tap away.
