Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payment technology company, has announced the launch of its remittance product, Send App by Flutterwave, in Malawi
Last year, on November 9, 2023, Flutterwave announced its official authorization to facilitate international remittances in Malawi which enables the company to process remittances from Malawians and other Africans sending money back home.
Flutterwave has now extended its Send App services to Malawi, allowing seamless cross-border money transfers for Malawians abroad to bank accounts and mobile money wallets in their home country. Send App is a response to the plight of thousand Malawians in the diaspora.
Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave commented, “At Flutterwave, we have always prided ourselves on our commitment to providing value where it is most needed. With Send App’s arrival and our knowledge of the crucial role remittances play in supporting the personal needs of individuals in Malawi, we are better positioned to support Malawians who want to receive money from the diaspora.
This marks the beginning of an exciting journey of endless possibilities in Malawi, and we’ll continue innovating to make Send App available to as many people as possible who need it across the African continent.”
Adding to this, Lumbani Gondwe, Country Manager, Malawi said, “Send App was built to connect families, friends, and loved ones seamlessly no matter the distance. Malawi, the heart of Africa, is a great country that thrives on such connections.
With complete bank coverage and other integrations such as expanding our delivery options to include Mobile Money and Cash
Pickup being actively worked, we are ready to facilitate affordable, quick, secure and seamless international money transfers for Malawians home and abroad”
In a parallel development showing Flutterwave’s regional growth strategy the company secured a Payment Systems Operator license from the Bank of Uganda, adding to similar approvals obtained in Mozambique, Ghana, and other African nations.

Further enhancing its service offerings, Flutterwave has also partnered with American Express to provide a new payment option for online merchants in Nigeria.
