How Sendvalu Relies on DusuPay Octopus to Pay Out Across Africa

Africa is one of the largest remittance destinations in the world. Billions of dollars flow in every year from the diaspora.

But sending money into Africa is only half the job.

The real challenge is paying it out.

This is where most global remittance companies struggle. And this is where Sendvalu made a smart move.

Why Africa Is Hard for Remittance Companies

Africa is not one payment market.

It is dozens of different payout ecosystems.

Each country runs on its own rails:

• Uganda uses MTN and Airtel Mobile Money

• Kenya is dominated by M-Pesa

• Ghana relies heavily on MTN MoMo

• Nigeria mixes bank transfers, USSD, and wallets

• Some countries still depend on cash and local banks

Cards are rarely the default. And bank transfers are often slow, expensive, or unreliable.

For remittance companies, this creates a big problem.

The Real Remittance Problem on the Ground

Senders want money delivered fast.

Recipients want money delivered where they already are.

That usually means:

• Mobile money wallets

• Local bank accounts

• Trusted local payout channels

What they don’t want:

• Delays

• Failed payouts

• Being forced to open new accounts

For a global remittance company like Sendvalu, building direct payout connections country by country would mean:

• Managing local partners in every market

• Handling compliance per country

• Managing FX and settlement flows

• Maintaining multiple payout integrations

That approach is slow. It is expensive. And it breaks at scale.

Why Sendvalu Chose DusuPay Octopus

Instead of building fragmented payout systems across Africa, Sendvalu integrated with DusuPay Octopus.

One integration. Many African countries.

DusuPay Octopus acts as the payout engine that connects global remittance platforms to Africa’s local payment rails.

What DusuPay Octopus Handles Behind the Scenes

From the recipient’s point of view, the payout feels simple.

Behind the scenes, a lot is happening.

DusuPay Octopus enables Sendvalu to:

• Pay out directly to mobile money wallets

• Send funds to local bank accounts

• Handle currency conversion automatically

• Manage settlement across borders

• Stay compliant across multiple African markets

All without Sendvalu building separate payout pipelines in every country.

The Real Advantage: Local Payouts at Scale

For recipients in Africa, this means:

• Faster access to funds

• Fewer failed payouts

• Money received in familiar channels

• No extra steps or friction

For Sendvalu, it means:

• Higher successful payout rates

• Better user trust and retention

• Lower operational complexity

• Faster rollout into new African countries

Payouts stop being a risk. They become a competitive advantage.

Why This Matters for Remittance Companies Entering Africa

Many remittance companies focus on front-end pricing and transfer speed.

Those things matter. But they are not enough.

If money cannot reach recipients quickly and reliably, the product fails.

Sendvalu understood this early.

By using DusuPay Octopus, it aligned its payout infrastructure with how Africa actually receives money, not how global systems assume it does.

One Integration. Many African Countries.

DusuPay Octopus gives remittance companies what they need to scale in Africa:

• Deep local payout coverage

• Fast time to market

• Reduced operational risk

• Infrastructure built for African realities

That is why Sendvalu relies on DusuPay Octopus for payouts across Africa.

Not as a workaround.But as core infrastructure.

If you are building a remittance business for Africa, payouts are not a feature.

They are the foundation.
