A scale to financial freedom for Africans
Providing a quick and easy way for users to receive funds, swap the funds into their local currency then withdraw to their local bank accounts
In the beginning, it was a personal pain point of myself and the team. After conversing with several colleagues we realized that in order to make a successful product, we would need to interview other freelancers like us that may benefit from this solution.
This included freelancers in different industries and niches across Africa. Our interviews were mainly centered around:
1. “ How they currently received funds from clients abroad"
2. “ Challenges they faced when trying to get their funds ”
3. “ Their ideal/preferred ways of receiving funds ”
1. 80% of the interviewees currently use payoneer and cryptocurrency
2. 85% of them complained of high transaction charges and high fluctuations in crypto.
3. 65% of them suggested that most clients do not like using cryptocurrency
4. 80% of them preferred to have a single platform handle cash request, swap and withdrawal.

Working on this project gave me insight on the intricacies involved in building a fintech application. One of the major aspect of this was when I wanted to choose API’s that will work for each use cases.Thanks for reading!!
