According to the firm, PayAngel’s speed of transfer is unmatched as the firm guarantees a 24-hour transfer than the 2-3 days most bank transfers to Africa take. The firm promises that the money can be transferred directly into the beneficiary’s bank account irrespective of the beneficiary’s bank in Africa.The platform also allows mobile money transfers to Africa, promises better exchange rates and a great user experience with NO hidden charges.

PayAngel works simply, a user follows 3 easy steps to register, then initiates the transfer process by entering their beneficiary’s details, indicate the amount to be sent and payout mode to the beneficiary, a user then pays for the transfer and confirms their transaction.  Users can send money to an agent as Cash pick-up, to a Bank Account or to a Mobile Wallet.
