Nigeria’s payment company Flutterwave and Nigerian 100m hurdles world record holder, Tobi Amusan have partnered to launch Send mobile app to enable users to send money easily and faster from the diaspora to their loved ones in a way that is convenient to them.
The Send mobile App is now live and can be accessed on the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
Tobi Amusan recently became a household name and an inspiration to African athletes after winning the gold medal in the 100m hurdles at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. Tobi is the current African, commonwealth, and world champion in the 100m hurdles.
$end and Tobi share several similarities; speed, power, endurance, flexibility, and adaptability. While speed is undeniably the most important factor, both $end and Tobi must be able to jump over obstacles with minimum disruption to motion.
Other key features of the Send Mobile app include Apple Pay which will allow Apple device users to transact seamlessly from their mobile wallets, an improved activity section that tracks transactions in real-time and a new voucher code section that allows users to create voucher cards.
Owuraku Ohene Ampadu-Kissi, Product marketer Flutterwave said, “Since we witnessed Tobi Amusan breaking the world record and winning gold in 100m hurdles, the $end team’s mantra has been “Sprint like Tobi, Speed like $end”. We’re thrilled that she’s agreed to become $end’s ambassador.”
Tobi Amusan, 100m Hurdles World Record Holder said, “I am excited to be a big part of a product I already use and love. I am always on the road, but I also have a lot of my family members in Nigeria. $end has helped me to keep in touch with them by meeting their needs as much as I can. Happy to be the face of this product for the African diaspora.”
Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave, said, “ It’s thrilling that Tobi is $end’s Ambassador. I would say it’s a perfect match given her speed and efficiency on the tracks and of course $endmobile’s speed of delivering cross-border transfers. Send Mobile will help improve the speed and efficiency of transferring money from the diaspora to the African continent for fees, real estate, health, upkeep and even for investments. We’re excited for all the possibilities this collaboration brings.”
