Flutterwave’s Transformative Partnerships Propel Africa’s Digital Payments Revolution

Flutterwave, the trailblazing African fintech company, has been making waves in the global payments landscape by forging strategic partnerships that are transforming the digital payments ecosystem across the continent. From its collaboration with Acquired.com to enhance customer experience, to its groundbreaking alliance with Microsoft to power payment innovation, Flutterwave is solidifying its position as a catalyst for financial inclusion and economic growth in Africa.

One of Flutterwave’s most significant recent partnerships is with Acquired.com, a leading payment processing platform. By leveraging Acquired.com’s expertise, Flutterwave has been able to offer faster and more secure outward remittance transactions for UK and EU cardholders sending money to their business partners or loved ones in Africa through Flutterwave’s flagship remittance product, Send App. This collaboration has resulted in a seamless and frictionless customer experience, further strengthening Flutterwave’s position as the trusted payments infrastructure provider on the African continent.

James Hardy, the Senior Vice President of Consumer Business at Flutterwave, expressed the company’s dedication to enhancing the customer experience, stating, “We are dedicated to enhancing the customer experience by working with the best partners to improve speed, transparency, and facilitating hassle-free money transfers. To achieve this, we have partnered with the industry’s leading platform to support our business goals. Acquired.com’s expertise and highly consultative approach makes them an ideal partner for us.”

In addition to its partnership with Acquired.com, Flutterwave has also forged a strategic technology alliance with tech giant Microsoft. This collaboration will see Flutterwave leverage the power of Microsoft Azure to drive innovation, empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and accelerate financial inclusion in Africa.

By transitioning its legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, Flutterwave will be able to process high-volume payments at scale, ensuring a frictionless and secure payment experience for its ever-expanding customer base. Furthermore, the integration with Azure Marketplace will enable Flutterwave to launch its SMB finance-as-a-service offering, directly empowering small businesses across the continent.

Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, the Founder and CEO of Flutterwave, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This collaboration isn’t just about transactions – it’s about transformation. We’re honoured that Microsoft believes in our vision and trusts our capability. I am proud to say we’re not just dreaming of an inclusive digital Africa; we’re creating it.”

Flutterwave’s strategic partnerships are not only transforming the payments landscape but also earning the company global recognition. In 2024, the company was named the No. 1 Most Innovative Company in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region by Fast Company, a prestigious global publication. This accolade places Flutterwave alongside industry leaders, cementing its status as a true innovator in the fintech sector.

As Flutterwave continues to forge strategic alliances and expand its reach, the company’s unwavering commitment to financial inclusion and economic empowerment in Africa is paving the way for a digital payments revolution. With its innovative spirit, strong corporate governance, and transformative partnerships, Flutterwave is poised to redefine the future of digital payments, not just in Africa, but on a global scale.
