We're proud to be partnered with @MoneyGram for stablecoin settlement and modernized payouts across emerging markets. 🌍

[Benjamin Fernandes 🇹🇿 @Benji_Fernandes]

Super excited to be building stablecoin based payouts (off-ramp) and collections (on-ramp) now powering Moneygram.

[Rafiki @rafiki_api]

We're proud to be working with @MoneyGram, leveraging @NALAmoney's stablecoin on- and off-ramp infrastructure platform to accelerate payouts across Africa and Asia.

Are stablecoins the future or present of payment infrastructure? 🚀

Stablecoins have come up in dozens of conversation I’ve had over the past few weeks. I still think we’re a long way from on-chain fully replacing traditional rails (until there’s better off ramping). That said, here are two use cases that make total sense to me today 👇

I love spending time in our @NALAmoney @rafiki_api Nairobi office. Kenya is just one of our hubs where we have a group of amazing individuals building these global payments businesses.

2024: A Year to Remember at @NALAmoney and @rafiki_api 🚀

As we close out the year, I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible team we’ve built at NALA and RAFIKI. Together, we not only achieved what we set out to do but outperformed our own goals 🙌

2024 has been nothing short of very hard, but, extraordinary, and it’s all thanks to the hard work, passion, and relentless drive of this team.

2025? It’s going to be our biggest and best year yet—and I couldn’t be more excited! 💥

Here’s a quick look back at what we accomplished this year:
📌 17x Revenue growth in 20 months, 10x Revenue growth in 12 months.
📌 Becoming Profitable 🔥
📌 Raising $40m Series A

To everyone who’s been part of this journey—our team, partners, and community—thank you.

Let’s keep building -> Payments for #TheNextBillion.

Merry Christmas everyone, God Bless You!
