People are the most important part of what we do. From our customers to our team members we are building a family that believes in a compelling vision of the future and can support each other to get there.
WE’re proud of
Who We Are
Our story begins in 2019 when one of our founders, Tope Alabi, relocated from the USA to Lagos, Nigeria. While in Nigeria, he tried to send money from his US bank account to his Nigerian bank account but found the process to be expensive and time-consuming. Tope knew there had to be a more cost-effective and faster way to transfer money from the US to Nigeria. With little money left from his savings, he teamed up with Obirije John, an established software developer who had previous experience working for a startup remittance company. Together, they founded Afriex, a peer to peer mobile payments app that makes sending money to Africa simple.
Our Team
We are building a family of Afriex users who are working towards creating wealth and therefore, a better standard of living across the globe. Very soon, we will be introducing a range of new currencies to the app thus, making sending money around the world even easier!
