The giant FinterWave, which is based in Lagos, launched a new advantage for trading stocks for African users, allowing them to invest in American stocks through their local currencies.
The show began in late June, after integrating with the US brokerage programming interface provider, which is currently available in Nigeria and Kenya, with plans to expand more African markets.
The new offer for users allows the purchase of fractures from the United States directly through the FLTERWAVE application or the third integrated reaction platforms with its application programming interface. It is worth noting that the system is easy to settle in the actual time in local currencies and integrates with the current mobile portfolios, providing smooth access to retailers for the first time throughout the continent.
This step is Flutewave to Wealtechch, which expands its wing until after the infrastructure of the basic payments. The company was founded in 2016 in Lagos, and the company became the most valuable in Africa, with an evaluation of more than $ 3 billion. It processes billions of dollars annually across 33 African countries, which pays payments to global companies including Uber, Meta and Microsoft.
FluteWave Wealthte’s aspirations are strengthened by acquiring the US-based money transfer platform in Orbital in February 2025. The deal-which was not unveiled-has bought the company’s transfer capabilities and allowed it to integrate the American financial infrastructure into its services. As a result, Flutewave is in a better position to facilitate the investments led by the diaspora and border flows between the United States and Africa.
This expansion of shares is at a time when the young people who enjoy the moving cunning in Africa show great interest in global investment opportunities. According to the verified market reports, the global partial investment applications market is expected to grow from $ 1.2 billion in 2024 to $ 4.5 billion by 2033, with demand for emerging economies that lead the curve.
The new product also digs to Flutewave against its competitors such as Chipper Cash, Bamboo and TVE. However, it aims to distinguish itself through topical integration, support for multi -currency, and access through already reliable payment channels.
The company raised more than $ 475 million of global investors, including Tiger Global, Visa Ventures and Avenir Growth Capital, which puts it in expanding its scope in the financial services sector.
With this new offer, Flutewave reports itself as a comprehensive financial portal that finds Africa for global capital markets.
