Overview and challenge!!
In an era marked by the rapid embrace of remote work and digital transactions, a significant hurdle hampers the financial connectivity of Africans on the global stage. Existing platforms, including major players like Paypal, impose limitations that hinder the seamless cross-border flow of funds.
This challenge is particularly pronounced for freelancers in Africa, who often face isolation due to restrictions and bans. Swiftmonie steps in as a comprehensive fintech solution, dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses across the African continent.
Concept & approach
Swiftmonie is looking to help individuals recieve cross-border payments, convert it to their local currency and withdraw the funds to their local bank accounts quickly and fast.
Our mission is to unlock financial opportunities, strengthen economic ties, and foster a connected and prosperous future for the diverse communities of Africa in the evolving landscape of digital finance."
The idea is to make the experience simple, easy to understand, no hidden fees or surprises by working with financial institutions across the world to enable users receive currencies into their wallet by creating unique bank accounts for each user.
The research
In the beginning, it was a personal pain point of myself and the team. After conversing with several colleagues we realized that in order to make a successful product, we would need to interview other freelancers like us that may benefit from this solution.
This included freelancers in different industries and niches across Africa. Our interviews were mainly centered around:
“ How they currently received funds from clients abroad ”
“ Challenges they faced when trying to get their funds ”
“ Their ideal/preferred ways of receiving funds ”
Key findings:
80% of the interviewees currently use payoneer and cryptocurrency
85% of them complained of high transaction charges and high fluctuations in crypto.
65% of them suggested that most clients do not like using cryptocurrency
80% of them preferred to have a single platform handle cash request, swap and withdrawal.
The research was quite extensive, Check the full research here
What I learnt
Working on this project gave me insight on the intricacies involved in building a fintech application. One of the major aspect of this was when I wanted to choose API’s that will work for each use cases.
