Olugbenga said that all of Flutterwave's different product launches speak to the company's mission to streamline domestic and international payment transactions for today’s convenience-driven African consumer. “Our goal is that everywhere the consumer has got money, be it on a business card or in a bank account, as long as you’re using Flutterwave, we’ll give you access to the easiest way for you to pay,” he said.
“There’s almost no legitimate way you can go through today to buy [dollars], so obviously there’s a lot of underground market transactions happening as people have real needs,” Flutterwave CEO Olugbenga Agboola told PYMNTS, pointing to individuals who are left struggling to pay for a flight ticket, book a holiday abroad or even pay for their child’s tuition at a foreign institution.
