Flutterwave, Tobi Amusan collaborate to launch $end Mobile for African Diaspora

Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has unveiled $endmobile, an app to facilitate faster and easier transfer of funds from the Diaspora to the African continent.

Flutterwave also signed Tobi Amusan, the Nigeria-born 100m Hurdles Women’s World Record Holder, as $endmobile’s Ambassador; a decision the company says is due to their similarity in speed and resilience.

The new app available on Play store and App Store aims to enhance customer experience through improved speed, transparency and ability to get user’s money to its destination despite the hurdles. Other key features of the Send Mobile app include Apple Pay which will allow Apple device users to transact seamlessly from their mobile wallets, an improved activity section that tracks transactions in real time and a new voucher code section that allows users to create voucher cards.

To use $end, subscribers are expected to sign up on $end (Android or iOS) indicating the email address or phone number and creating a password. They will then click the “Send Now” button after which they will enter the money transfer details, i.e. amount, sending currency/country, and receiving currency/country. They can then review the transaction and send the money.
