In an era of mass immigration and a booming freelance economy, seamless digital and cross-border payments have become essential, especially for Nigerian youth and millennials. Whether supporting family back home, paying for services, or settling into a new country, staying financially connected is crucial.

The Global Shift: Why Cross-Border Payments Matter

According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), approximately 281 million people lived outside their country of birth as of 2024. Many relocate for education, career opportunities, or a better quality of life.

Countries like Canada welcome nearly half a million immigrants yearly, while Asia and Africa see the highest emigration rates due to economic growth and job prospects. Yet, no matter where life takes you, financial responsibilities remain: sending money home, receiving funds, or managing expenses abroad.

In 2022, it was recorded that migrants sent an estimated USD 831 billion in international remittances globally. India, Mexico, China, the Philippines and France were the top five remittance recipient countries. However, India was well above the rest, receiving more than USD 111 billion, the first country to reach and even surpass the USD 100 billion mark. And the number has since increased, which is why Pesa comes in. 

That’s where Pesa comes in.

Why Pesa Stands Out for Global Money Transfers

Moving abroad shouldn’t mean losing hard-earned money to fees or delays. Pesa offers a smarter, faster, and more affordable way to send money across borders. Here’s how:

 Zero Transfer Fees – Every penny counts when you’re far from home. Unlike banks or other platforms, Pesa charges nothing for transfers.

Transparent Exchange Rates –  Whether you’ve moved from India to the UK in search of a job or to meet your family, you know you can always count on Pesa to change your GBP to Pesos and send it back with the best exchange rate.

Instant Transfers – Moving across the world does not mean leaving your family stranded when in dire need of cash. Transfers made from Nigeria to the UK are instant and makes you a dependable person wherever you are in the world. 

Your Multi-Currency Travel Partner –Unlike the digital nomad, you are an immigrant, but the journey matters as much as the destination. Pesa is in your pocket for all the stops on the way. Whether you want to grab a coffee on a long layover in Germany, you know you can do that with Pesa’s multi-currency wallet

The Bottom Line: Move with Confidence Using Pesa
