In today's interconnected world, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya have an unprecedented opportunity to expand their horizons and tap into international markets. However, one major hurdle that often stands in the way is efficient cross-border payment solutions.
Traditional methods of cross-border payments are not only time-consuming but also expensive, with hefty transfer fees and lengthy processing times. This can make it challenging for SMEs to compete on a global scale, especially when compared to larger corporations with more resources.
According to the World Bank, the average cost of remittances to sub-Saharan Africa is 8.5%, which significantly eats into profits and slows down growth for SMEs. This high cost also impacts consumers in Kenya, who are often forced to bear the brunt of these fees.
