Flutterwave’s Send App, a leading platform for cross-border transfers within Africa, has broken new ground. The fintech giant has launched a physical debit card for its Nigerian users, seamlessly connecting its digital ecosystem to everyday spending.
This Visa-powered card, issued in partnership with Union Bank, transforms your Send App balance into spendable cash anywhere Visa is accepted—from local market POS terminals to international online stores. It effectively solves a key pain point for users: the need to first withdraw funds to a traditional bank account before spending.
The launch marks a strategic move for Flutterwave, evolving Send from a transfer-focused app into a more comprehensive financial tool. It places the company in direct competition with traditional banks and other fintechs offering card services, emphasizing convenience and financial inclusion.
For Nigerians at home and abroad receiving funds via Send, the card offers instant access and utility, eliminating withdrawal delays. It’s a significant step in blurring the lines between digital and physical finance, making borderless money truly spendable anywhere.
