How US Businesses Can Easily Make Payments to Africa with Raiz
Africa is one of the most rapidly growing trade, services and talent corridors for US companies today. From agencies working with African creative teams, to ecommerce brands partnering with African manufacturers, to tech teams hiring remote African developers, the need to pay African partners reliably, quickly and affordably is increasing every single year.
But traditional international bank transfers into several African markets are still complicated, delayed, and often expensive. Settlement cycles are slow. Correspondent banking chains are long. And exchange rates are often unclear until the very end.
Raiz is built to remove that friction completely.
Why US-to-Africa Payments Are Difficult Today
US companies often face:
- long settlement wait times
- difficulty sending value into certain African bank markets
- unpredictable conversion at destination
- escalating hidden fees through banking intermediaries
- compliance delay for even small-value transfers
This makes it tough for US businesses to scale confidently using African suppliers, African remote talent pools, or African operational partners.
Raiz simplifies this with a modern cross-border architecture that prioritises speed, clarity and transparency.
How Raiz Helps US Businesses Pay African Partners Easier
Raiz provides a stable-value payments infrastructure that enables US companies to send funds directly to African partners quickly — without multiple banking hops and without prohibitive friction.
A US company can:
- Make payments to African partners or teams in minutes
- Hold stable value without conversion until needed
- Send funds with predictable outcomes
- Support multiple African corridor expansion without separate tools for each country
Raiz brings operational confidence back into international business flow.
Example Personas for US Businesses Using Raiz
The US Digital Agency hiring African creative teams
Creative production is now global; editing, design, motion graphics, animation, community management. Raiz ensures that when weekly or monthly payouts are due, African creatives are paid without delay, without value loss, without frustration.
The US Startup buying product packaging from Africa
Some US brands source shea-based, cocoa-based, or raw material products from Nigeria, Ghana or Ivory Coast. Raiz enables faster settlement so goods move quickly and inventory windows aren't wasted.
The US Manufacturing Business using African contract labour
Instead of waiting days for payment confirmation, Raiz allows the business to pay instantly so production doesn't stall.
Why This Matters for the Next Decade of Global Trade
Africa is becoming a core participant in global supply chain, remote work and creative production flows. US companies that will win in this decade are the companies that can operate frictionlessly across these markets.
Raiz makes it possible.
Raiz offers US businesses the ability to send money across African corridors with ease, ensuring that value moves as fast as the actual work being produced — not slower.
Cross-border shouldn't feel like a project. It should feel like a simple everyday financial action.
Raiz is enabling that shift.
