Get low FX rates with a Klasha Business Account

Running a business in Africa in these times of high exchange rates and few FX options can be daunting.

Did you know that in 2020, Tanzania, Angola, and Nigeria were among the countries in Africa with the highest costs incurred on remittances sent, according to Statista.com? To break it down, charges for a money transfer of $200 in each country amounted to 19.7% of the sum sent, on average. In addition, business owners could only send small amounts abroad due to banking regulations.

With the above-mentioned regulations, business owners turned to other transfer methods in search of cheap exchange rates. However, problems such as fewer currency options and longer settlement time still affected business processes, as experienced by Truthware Solutions before they created a Klasha Business Account.
