Flutterwave's mission is to simplify payments for endless possibilities, enabling businesses to expand globally by tapping into customers anywhere in the world.
Flutterwave was founded in 2016 by Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Olugbenga Agboola, and Adeleke Adekoya. The founders had significant experience in the fintech space and were motivated by the challenges they faced in making payments within Africa. Aboyeji, who had co-founded Andela, experienced difficulties in paying developers based in Africa due to high transaction fees and delays. This led to the creation of Flutterwave to solve the problem of payment system fragmentation in Africa by building a digital payments infrastructure that connects to all payment solutions across the continent.
