Why IntaSend
Launch in new African markets without building local rails
Opening each market yourself means new operator contracts, new integrations and new settlement accounts. IntaSend has already done that work.
One integration, not five
Each market has different operators, APIs and settlement cycles. You integrate IntaSend once and reach Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and DRC.
Local currency in, local currency out
Hold balances in USD, EUR or GBP and in local currencies. Collect and pay out in the currency your customers use.
Compliance handled with you
KYB onboarding, transaction screening and monitoring are part of the service, not a project you run per country.
A team that answers
Direct access to engineers and an account manager who know the local rails, from integration through to scale.
Use cases
Built for high-volume, regulated businesses
Remittance & money transfer
