Say goodbye to slow and expensive transactions when sending money to South Africa and enjoy an instant and easier method with Yellow Pay at no fees.

Sending money locally isn’t without hiccups, but sending money from one country to another becomes even more challenging. But then, there are several reasons why we need to send money across borders. We need to send money to our friends, family or colleagues or for payment for goods and services.

While our local banks and payment platforms like Moneygram have existed for so long, cross-border payments remain challenging to process. This is why, today, we’ll be unravelling one of the most secure, fast and cheapest ways to send money, Yellow Pay.  Yellow Pay is a payment product of the Pan-African crypto exchange Yellow Card that allows you to send money across Africa easily, instantly and securely.

Challenges of Cross-Border Payment And How Yellow Pay Is Your Best Alternative
