Ghanaian startup Seevcash, a remittance and peer-to-peer money transfer platform serving African diaspora communities across Ghana, the United States and beyond, has announced US$333,000 in funding through the Stellar Community Fund and its affiliated programmes. The company stated that the direct Stellar Community Fund awards total US$33,000 across four separate grants and ecosystem growth programmes. The announcement coincides with the launch of a Seevcash Visa card, expanding how users can spend cross-border funds.
Funding from the Stellar ecosystem
Seevcash secured the backing through an open application awards programme operated by the Stellar Development Foundation. The company said the direct funding spans four separate awards totaling US$33,000, including two Community Fund grants and two ecosystem growth programmes. This support is designed to help developers and startups building on the Stellar network move faster.
Dawuda Iddrissu, chief executive officer and co-founder of Seevcash, said every award arrived at a critical moment. He noted the funding allowed the team to accelerate its roadmap while maintaining focus on increasing diaspora usage and engagement. The company views the Stellar Community Fund support as a validation of its mission to improve cross-border money movement.
Serving diaspora financial needs
Seevcash enables families to send and request money across borders through a platform built around real financial moments. The service operates across Ghana, the United States and other markets where African diaspora communities are active. Its peer-to-peer model aims to make remittances more accessible and better suited to everyday needs.
The company has continued to strengthen how funds move into its platform through an existing partnership with MoneyGram. That integration supports inbound transfers and gives users more options when adding money to their Seevcash accounts. Seevcash is now focused on turning occasional users into frequent users by improving the overall experience.
New Visa card for everyday spending
Alongside the funding news, Seevcash introduced a Seevcash Visa card that lets users spend their funds anywhere Visa is accepted. The card works for both online and in-person payments, giving families more flexibility after money has been sent or received. The launch responds to a recurring request from users who wanted a card to complement the platform.
Cosmos Appiah, chief technology officer of Seevcash, said the team fixed sending and then responded to the next question from users about where the card was. Partnering with Visa is positioned as the company's answer to that demand. The card is expected to make Seevcash more useful for daily transactions beyond peer-to-peer transfers.
Strategic direction and market relevance
The funding and card launch mark a period of product expansion for the Ghanaian startup as it broadens its financial services footprint. Seevcash is working to connect its remittance infrastructure with everyday spending tools that serve diaspora communities across multiple geographies. The Stellar network support also provides a technical foundation for efficient cross-border transactions.
By combining money transfer capability with a Visa card, the company is moving closer to a full financial services offering. The approach targets a clear gap for families who need to send support and for recipients who need immediate access to funds. Seevcash believes this connection between transfer and spending can drive stronger user retention.
Seevcash's new funding through the Stellar Community Fund gives the company additional resources to expand its remittance platform and product suite. The launch of the Seevcash Visa card adds a practical spending tool that aligns with user demand and existing MoneyGram integrations. As the startup grows across Ghana, the United States, and beyond, its ability to combine transfers with everyday payments may help it stand out in the competitive diaspora fintech market.
