Flutterwave’s remittance service, Send App, has expanded its coverage in the US and reinstated support for major card networks, including AMEX and Discover.
The move is part of a wider update to its cross-border payments offering. The company stated that the changes apply to users sending funds from the US, the UK, and several European countries to African markets such as Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, and Cameroon.
According to representatives from Flutterwave, the extended reach is intended to streamline transfers for individuals in the diaspora who rely on the service for routine payments to recipients across Africa. They noted that coverage across the US and renewed acceptance of major cards in the US, UK, and EU would make the service more accessible to a wider range of payers. The representatives added that the update aims to reduce obstacles related to distance and payment method availability.
Expansion of coverage and updated card support
Flutterwave highlighted that the Send App updates are supported by internal compliance processes, operational monitoring, and security controls intended to meet applicable regulatory standards. The company said these measures are designed to improve settlement times, boost service reliability, and offer clearer transaction visibility for users.
Beyond remittances, Flutterwave has been developing additional financial tools, including virtual accounts and options for transferring digital assets. Stablecoin-based transfers are also being explored as part of ongoing efforts to support cross-border activity, a direction the firm has referenced in relation to previous collaborations with Polygon and the Circle Payment Network.
Flutterwave maintains that expanding Send App’s US presence and reinstating full card support will strengthen its position in a competitive remittance market serving Africa-focused corridors.
Based in Africa, Flutterwave provides payment infrastructure for businesses and supports local and international transactions through its API. The company reports activity in 34 African countries and says it handles card payments, mobile wallets, bank transfers, and other digital payment methods for a range of commercial partners.
