Living a good life is very hard. Especially when you add payment of bills and feeding. The average adult will tell you that adulthood is a scam. There are a variety of reasons why people feel so stuck that sometimes they want to simply give up on investing effort at living:

They feel constrained by their environment: the African reality is that an average citizen may spend 30 to 40 years of his life without ever leaving the borders of his home country. The only set of opportunities he/she knows are the ones that exist within his/her immediate environment and sometimes, within his nation. 

They don’t have access to tools that can amplify or scale their existing businesses: Given the difficulty of running businesses locally and internationally within the African continent, most entrepreneurs and business owners limit their horizons to what is tenable in their home countries or even within their states. Hence, limiting their customer base to a few hundred people even if the business has the potential of reaching million with accessibility to a few tools. 

Limited horizons of what’s possible: very few people actually believe in the potential of a business or venture to reach a wider African market. That’s why there are a few companies leveraging that opportunity. 

A few weeks ago we saw a new world of possibilities opened when one of our clients conducted a transaction using Settle from Nigeria to a friend living in Kenya. In less than 10 minutes, they both received value for the transaction. The sender received a receipt and the receiver got his payment and his receipt.  This represents more than a mere transaction between two people for us. It represents an era of exchanging African currencies between one another without having an intermediary currency to exacerbate costs and delay value. It also spells a solution to all the problems highlighted above. Settle has bridged all African countries and no African will ever feel constrained by his/her environment again. Settle has provided businesses and entrepreneurs with a platform through which they can scale their impact, influence and profitability. Settle has also provided Africanss with the reason to dream big. 

With Settle, location is no longer a disadvantage, but a window to greater accomplishments. Dare to dream and dare to run great businesses across Africa. We are here to make your transactions and payment settlements easier and faster.
