Thunes, the Smart Superhighway to move money around the world and Ecobank Group, the leading pan-African financial institution, today announced a collaboration which will enable instant cross-border payments for millions of individuals and businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The partnership operationalizes the landmark memorandum of understanding signed between Ecobank and TransferTo, Thunes' holding company, in 2024. That agreement envisioned a fundamental transformation of financial access and cross-border payment solutions across Africa.
This new chapter of financial access will see a large-scale integration between banking and fintech infrastructures, making it easier for people and businesses to send, receive, and manage money instantly across borders. Faster settlements, simpler access to liquidity, and broader reach will unlock new possibilities for growth and participation in the digital economy.
