Our Group Head of Growth, Nika Naghavi, was recently featured in a BBC article shedding light on the challenges faced by migrants when sending money back home.

The article explores the impact of high remittance fees, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where the average transaction fee is 7.4%, more than double the 2030 target for UN Sustainable Development Goals.

"Our North Star should be to ensure that these customer fees are as close as possible to zero," says Nika.

Her expertise at Onafriq is instrumental in addressing these challenges and paving the way for more accessible and affordable remittance solutions.
