Visa-backed African unicorn Moniepoint tackles remittances. But is it late to the game? | TechCrunch
Briefly

Visa's investment in Nigerian fintech Moniepoint marks a significant shift in strategy towards cross-border payments in Africa, particularly with the launch of MonieWorld. This platform, starting with the UK-Nigeria corridor, aims to serve immigrants beyond just remittances—it's striving to become a comprehensive banking solution for immigrants. Tosin Eniolorunda, the CEO, recognizes the challenges posed by entrenched competitors in the remittance market but insists that MonieWorld seeks to address deeper financial needs for immigrants, enhancing their connection to families and communities back home.
