FAQs: What is KlashaWire?

With more businesses selling into Africa, international businesses and suppliers must transact cross-border and make large international transactions. Yet, despite the continent's commerce growth, financial policies restrict traditional institutions from sending a high amount overseas at a low cost. This is one of the payment problems that Klasha is here to solve.

KlashaWire, a payable feature of Klasha Business, helps businesses send money globally. KlashaWire makes it easy and fast for you to send a wire to your business partners and suppliers overseas using African currencies. They receive the equivalent payout in USD, CNY, EUR, GBP, INR, other hard currencies, and more.

We’ve compiled some of the common questions our merchants usually have so you are steps ahead:

What are KlashaWire transaction fees?

How long do KlashaWire transactions take?

One to four business days is how long your payment from Africa takes to get overseas.
