Flutterwave has taken a major step in its remittance strategy with a significant upgrade to its Send App offering. The company has broadened access to the service across the United States while restoring full support for major payment cards in key international markets. Together, these changes are designed to make it easier, faster, and more convenient for members of the African diaspora to support their families back home.


Expansion of Send App Across the United States

Send App is now live in every state across the U.S., enabling users from the East Coast to the West Coast to send money home with the same experience. This nationwide rollout means that customers no longer face geographic gaps or restrictions when trying to move funds to loved ones abroad. Whether the purpose is covering school fees, supporting parents, or managing everyday expenses, users can initiate transfers from any U.S. state with greater confidence and convenience.

Enhanced Card Support for Global Users

In parallel with the U.S. expansion, Flutterwave has reactivated support for a wide range of major cards on Send App, including networks such as Amex and Discover. This renewed card coverage applies to users in the U.S., the U.K., and the EU, creating more choice in how senders fund their transactions. The result is a more flexible payment experience that aligns with users’ existing financial habits while preserving the simplicity and familiarity of the Send App interface.

Strengthening Remittance Flows to Africa

The upgrades to Send App directly target the needs of Africans living abroad who send money to countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, and Cameroon. By combining wider geographic coverage with more funding options, Flutterwave is helping to remove friction points that often slow down or complicate cross-border transfers. The company frames remittances not just as financial activity but as an expression of care and connection, positioning Send App as an enabler of those relationships.

Security, Compliance, and Reliability

Behind the product updates sits a framework of regulatory compliance, operational oversight, and secure transaction processing. Flutterwave emphasizes that Send App operates with bank-level encryption and 3D Secure, which work together to guard user data and protect every payment from initiation to settlement. The platform also aims to offer faster settlements, improved reliability, and greater transparency, reinforcing trust at a time when remittance users are increasingly sensitive to delays and security risks.

Strategic Alignment with Flutterwave’s Innovation Roadmap

The Send App expansion forms part of Flutterwave’s broader push to build a future-ready payments network connecting Africa to the global economy. Recent initiatives have included the development of virtual accounts, stablecoin-based capabilities, and digital asset transfer features, which are intended to complement traditional remittance rails. Partnerships with firms such as Polygon and Circle Payment Network further support this strategy, underscoring Flutterwave’s ambition to be a comprehensive, compliant infrastructure provider for cross-border payments.


By making Send App available across all U.S. states and restoring full support for major card networks in the U.S., U.K., and EU, Flutterwave is tightening the link between the African diaspora and their home countries. The combination of wider access, flexible funding methods, and strong security positions the service as a compelling option in a competitive remittance landscape. As Flutterwave continues to roll out new features and deepen its global partnerships, Send App is likely to remain a central pillar of its mission to make sending money home as seamless as sending a message.
