TRENDS TO WATCH
Reverse Remittances Taking Off
Only 53% of African diaspora use digital apps to send money home, but the biggest request? Sending money back to diaspora. This creates informal lending networks and boosts confidence for larger transfers.
Bill Payments Over Cash Transfers
60% of senders doubt their money gets used as intended. Direct bill payment to utilities, schools, and hospitals is growing faster than traditional cash-to-cash transfers.
Send Now, Pay Later for Remittances
Most UK/EU senders transfer money on the 25th of each month. Credit options aligned with salary cycles are creating new partnership opportunities with lending companies.
IDEAS TO TRY
Mobile money loans at petrol stations - Line of credit for regular customers who can pay later
Payroll tax automation - Software calculating SDL, PAYE, and other taxes with automatic payments
Health insurance comparison portal - Platform showing different plans with real customer reviews
Import duty calculator - Free online tool for self-calculating customs and VAT costs
Prepaid cards for remittance recipients - Give diaspora senders more control over how money gets spent
