Building Communities, Breaking Barriers: Why People Are at the Heart of OAPay
Focused on advancing inclusion through innovation, OAPay has built a robust and sustainable community-driven remittance platform to make a difference where it matters most.

Leading Africa-first money transfer platform OAPay has fortified its commitment to the community, ensuring that everyone deserves a shot at financial freedom.
Backed by the goal of creating a more equitable world and offering affordable remittance services, OAPay is built to reinvent the financial infrastructure that has widened the economic gap for decades.
The community-driven platform, OAPay, was founded in 2020 when the world experienced unprecedented global disruption. It was a time when migrants bore the brunt of the economic downturns, struggling to transfer money back home to their loved ones.
The founders of OAPay, with roots in Ghana, have experienced first-hand the flaws of existing fee-ridden and outdated remittance systems. Their real-world experiences have helped them identify the key challenges that individuals and businesses encounter when sending money to Africa.
Determined to drive change, they identified an opportunity to improve the lives of millions of people globally and uplift communities in Africa.
The company that is built by Africans and for Africans is empowering ordinary people with international money remittance services that are more affordable, faster, and a whole lot simpler.
“We wanted to make transferring money as simple as sending a text message. At OAPay, we have created a safe space to send and save money by ensuring your funds travel fast across borders,” said Tracey Abiola, CEO of OAPay.
Driven by the motto—“Together is Better”—the company believes in being deliberately different.
“At its core, financial inclusion is about people. OAPay is taking a bold stand in ensuring complete fairness and transparency with every transfer. This means that the money you send arrives in full. By keeping the dreams of immigrants alive globally, OAPay has been successful in creating a ripple effect, uplifting entire communities, and transforming livelihoods, one transfer at a time.”
With a recent brand overhaul, the company has extended its reach to Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya and augmented its product suite to include an advanced bill payments feature. As strong advocates of women’s empowerment, the founders of OAPay also support safe childbirth by backing registered charitable programs that are working to lower mortality rates.
