Instantly bridge YouTube & Patreon earnings to your Ugandan mobile money or bank.
Ugandan content creators cannot receive international payments from YouTube and Patreon directly through PayPal due to its limited support in Uganda, forcing them to use expensive third-party exchangers.
PesaBridge uses Stripe Connect to receive international payments on your behalf from YouTube and Patreon. We automatically convert to UGX at competitive rates and payout directly to MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, or local banks. Say goodbye to expensive exchangers with our low 2.5% fee and seamless dashboard.
