Lumepay is now live in Kenya! 🇰🇪
“Kenyan businesses are already trading with the world. What holds them back is the cost and uncertainty of paying and getting paid across borders. We built Lumepay so a flower exporter in Naivasha or a distributor in Nairobi can move money as easily as they move goods.” Luc Varejes - COO, Lumepay.

With Lumepay, Kenyan businesses can:
✅Convert, send and receive KES and 20+ other currencies in one account
✅Settle on local rails, including M-Pesa
✅See the full FX cost before they pay, with pricing up to 40% lower than traditional banking.

@alubephilipsam Valid question! We believe that by making cross-border payments available to SME's, we are enabling their growth across the continent which in turn means they can hire more; produce more; and contribute more to the local economy.

[Lumepay @lumepayofficial]

@CMan_Witbfl_Bal Yes! Create an account https://t.co/wruBWzfDYu
