Getting paid across borders or in digital currency is still far too complicated for most businesses in Africa. Whether you’re a merchant in Nairobi, a vendor in Lagos, or a creator in Dar es Salaam, the tools you have today are either too risky, too expensive, or simply not built for you.
Many people rely on informal P2P deals or Whatsapp vendor groups to convert stablecoins like USDC or even USD to local currency. But that often comes with delays, price slippage, fraud, or even total loss of funds. On the other end, traditional fintech apps require lengthy KYC, apps, logins, or banking access and many users, informal included, don’t have any of that.
NEDApay fixes this. We built it for people who just want to send, receive, swap and cash out money fast and safely. With NEDApay, anyone can generate a payment link, accept stablecoin payments in seconds, and off-ramp to mobile money or bank accounts. No seed phrases, no new apps, and no crypto knowledge needed.
We’re making crypto useful for real life: for the mama mboga who wants to accept payments from her cousin in the diaspora; for the P2P trader who needs a secure direct off-ramp; for the Instagram seller who just wants to get paid.
By bridging stablecoins with mobile money and everyday tools, NEDApay creates a smoother, more trustworthy experience and gives users a real alternative to outdated systems.
