The Opportunity

Problem

Togolese content creators cannot access international payment platforms like PayPal and Stripe, forcing them to rely on expensive local mobile money conversions for receiving global earnings.

Solution

We automatically convert USD to XOF at competitive rates and deposit into your Moov or Flooz account within minutes. No more expensive middlemen or conversion fees eating into your earnings.
