Reputed card-to-card
payments disrupter, PaySend has entered a
new partnership with Access Bank Nigeria
Plc in furtherance of its new generation mode of money transfers to the
African markets, reports ITRealms.
PaySend, ITRealms gathered is rapidly expanding
business with footprint in over 60 countries and is boosting presence across
Africa with the latest.
Affirming this,
the Chief Executive Officer, PaySend, Ronald
Millar, expressed delight over the partnership with Access Bank Nigeria.
“To have reached
over 60 countries in such a short time is excellent and we look forward to a
long and fruitful partnership. Nigeria is one of our first African partners,
and we definitely see great potential in the region,” Millar said.
ITRealms gathered that Access Bank,
which has over 368 branches and service outlets across Nigeria, sub Saharan
Africa, the United Kingdom and Dubai, promises to deliver sustainable economic
growth that is profitable, environmentally responsible and socially relevant.
Responding, the Executive
Director at Access Bank Nigeria, Victor Etuokwu noted that accessibility is
important in “our business and we see this partnership as vital to connecting
our customers to their increasingly globalised network, whether they be
business contacts, friends or family.”
At present, he said, PaySend’s technology works for all Visa, Mastercard and Verve cards issued by Access
Bank in Nigeria, but the company wants to go further.
“We are working together
with Access Bank to expand our coverage across the country, and into other
African countries to develop a broader offering in the region” Millar further
said.
The company has
big plans for 2018, and is keen to build partnerships with local banks in all
major African destinations.
ITRealms recalls that PaySend made its
debut as a next generation money transfers company 12 months ago and has
created a global network through the major card schemes, comprising Visa,
Mastercard, UnionPay, local domestic payment systems; thus allowing its
customers to send money from card-to-card.
