Wizkid also commented on this new partnership. He said, “I’m excited to work with Flutterwave in bringing more Africans into the digital economy through $end. We’re building amazing technology in Africa and we’re so proud of the work every technology company is doing to positively shape our continent for future growth.

My team and I $end a lot of money across borders every day. Using a solution developed by Africans for our daily payments needs is a thing of pride and efficiency. So, when Flutterwave reached out, it was easy to say yes.

For someone like me that’s always on the go, $end offers me the opportunity to keep in touch with my responsibilities across all parts of Africa. It doesn’t matter if I am in the UK and want to make a payment in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya or Nigeria—all I need to do is $end it.”
