Three nations share this date. Somalia became independent on 1 July 1960, and Rwanda and Burundi followed on the same day in 1962.

We honour the generations who won that freedom and the generations building on it today.

"...the remittances they send are a way of sharing that prosperity back to families at home," Rachel said. Full conversation on Bloomberg's Next Africa podcast: https://t.co/IOrGo4vMWq

When war broke out in Iran, migrant workers dipped into savings to keep remittances flowing home. Eventually, they had to pull back, said Rachel Balsham, our Managing Director, on Bloomberg's Next Africa podcast.

Keeping a payment network running across African markets means systems that don't go down. Our Group Head of AI Transformation, Linda Sitole, unpacks how we've built that resilience on a panel at the 6th Annual FinTech Summit Africa in Sandton this Thursday, 25 June.

Through our partnership with Banque Nationale de Mauritanie (BNM), inbound transfers now land into Click wallets, reaching 175,000 customers across Mauritania. We're excited to see opportunities and growth ahead for families, businesses, and the partners building alongside us.

[Onafriq @Onafriq]

Between 2019 and 2026, the share of Mauritanians with access to formal financial services more than doubled. The AfDB-backed PAMIF project played an important role in building the rails, aligning regulation, and creating conditions for a digital economy to take hold.

Francis is one of many on our team who send money home. The same theme came up in every conversation: pride in making remittances, and economic opportunity, easier across the continent.

Here's to a future where payments are as easy as a phone call. 🥂

Happy #IDFR

Remittances were the largest source of private finance flowing into low- and middle-income countries last year. Flows topped $684 billion in 2024.
Behind that number: people like Francis Durand. 🧵

Francis is a Partner Support Analyst at Onafriq. Originally from Benin, now based in Ghana.
"For me, remittances are much more than just sending money. They are a way of staying connected to my family and supporting the people who matter most, even when I am far from home."

Eid al-Adha is, above all, a time of generosity and showing up for one another.

Across Africa, from the Maghreb to the Sahel and along the East African coast, we wish you and your loved ones a day filled with peace, joy, and the spirit of giving that defines this occasion.

[Onafriq @Onafriq]

Happy Africa Day from all of us at Onafriq.

In May 1963, 32 African heads of state gathered in Addis Ababa to sign the charter of the Organisation of African Unity, now the African Union.

Many of those nations were newly independent. Kenya would gain independence seven months later.

From a painting in Accra to the glaciers of Kilimanjaro.

From the warriors of Dahomey to the energy of Lagos.

These are the stories, cultures and connections that make Africa home.
