By removing the customary obstacles to international money transfers, this collaboration announcement guarantees cost-effectiveness, quickness, and dependability. By establishing three cutting-edge blockchain-based payment corridors, this partnership aims to close the gap between Africa and important markets like the UK, Australia, and the GCC.

As a result of this partnership, three partner businesses—PayAngel in the UK, for example—are stepping up to take on the role of vital intermediary for people and corporations looking for effective payment and remittance services to Africa. Furthermore, Pyypl would be incorporated into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), providing member states such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates with the advantages of quicker and more economical cross-border payments.

With the use of Ripple’s state-of-the-art crypto technology, Onafriq seeks to resolve the enduring problems with cross-border payments, which include long transfer times, unreliability, and exorbitant fees.
