Founded in 2016, Flutterwave was first included on the TIME100 list in 2021. This followed a historic campaign that helped thousands of businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to sell online. Its 2025 return testifies to the company’s ongoing influence as a fintech leader, transforming payments across Africa and beyond.
“Being recognized by TIME once again is a true honor. It's a testament to our team’s incredible work. We’ve moved from building infrastructure to enabling global-scale solutions. Flutterwave today isn't just powering payments; we’re shaping Africa's financial future and connecting the continent to the world.”
