Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance : from banks to phones. While this has affected wealthier countries as well, it has been nothing short of a revolution for the emerging markets where the overwhelming majority of population had been unable to access digital finance previously.
Taptap Send allows immigrants to send money home instantly and with no fee*, saving money in the process. With a formal market size of >
700B alone, we've got a lot more saving to do for our users. Our mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets.
And that's just the beginning...
We charge fees for transfers on fixed exchange rate corridors (e.g., XOF, XAF).
