Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has introduced a new way for Nigerians and their loved ones abroad to enjoy extra rewards while sending money. Through its Send App, the company has unveiled the “Share and Earn” referral program, designed to make cross-border remittances more rewarding than ever.

Send App has already become a trusted tool for millions by making it easy to send and receive money across borders. With the recent integration of Swap, users can now smoothly convert Nigerian Naira (NGN) into foreign currencies, further simplifying international money transfers.

Remittances play a huge role in Africa’s economy, especially Nigeria’s. In 2024 alone, Nigerians in the diaspora sent home over $21 billion, supporting families, education, healthcare, and daily living. With projections showing Africa’s digital payment economy hitting $1.5 trillion by 2030, Send App is stepping up to drive even more growth through innovation and user-focused incentives.

How the “Share and Earn” Program Works:

In Nigeria: Customers can earn up to ₦5,000 for every successful referral when the new user completes their first transfer of at least ₦200,000.

From Abroad (US, UK, Europe): Senders can get up to $20, £20, or €20, while the receiver in Nigeria also receives ₦5,000. (Terms and conditions apply).

Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Flutterwave’s Founder & CEO, highlighted the vision behind the initiative:

“Send App is more than just a remittance product for us. It’s about creating economic opportunities and making it easier, faster, and more rewarding to send money for essential needs like tuition, healthcare, and family support.”

The timing couldn’t be better. With families preparing for back-to-school expenses, tuition fees, and holiday travel, Send App’s referral program is a timely way to give customers a little extra financial boost.

Temiloluwa Adesina, Senior Product Manager at Flutterwave, also emphasized the importance of community:

“Trusted word-of-mouth is powerful. The Share and Earn program not only rewards users but also encourages them to share their positive experiences with others, spreading the value of seamless and secure transfers.”

This move follows Send App’s successful summer campaign in July, which offered users helpful guides, travel tips, and special promos to maximize the value of their transfers.

With “Share and Earn,” Flutterwave is showing once again why it continues to lead Africa’s payments space—combining innovation, trust, and user rewards to keep money moving smoothly across borders.
