Flutterwave is a digital payment platform which enables users of a particular product pay for services rendered to service providers in their local currency without any hassle or stress.

In essence, Flutterwave can be seen as “middle-man,” which stands in-between the service provider, the customer, and the bank by integrating them into its platform for ease of business. Flutterwave allows its clients to tap to its API (Application Programming Interface) in conjunction with Flutterwave’s developers to customise payment applications. Some of its clients include Arikair.com, Jumia, Uber, etc.

It was founded in 2016 after its co-founders Iyinoluwa Aboyeji and Olugbenga Agboola worked alongside a team comprising of bankers and software engineers from Standard Bank, Google Wallet, Andela, PayPal, etc. Flutterwave helps African businesses establish themselves globally by smoothing the exchange of funds for more than 150 currencies. It is headquartered in San Francisco and has offices in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, and Johannesburg.

Flutterwave currently has two main products:

1. Barter (download from Play Store or theApp store ) and;
2. Rave

Barter
Barter is a revolutionary service created to help clients in making monetary transactions online with ease.

Before the advent of Barter Nigerians who had only Nigerian debit cards found it almost impossible to pay for services on Amazon, Netflix, Apple Music, etc.

To solve this challenge, Barter was introduced. It allows users create virtual dollar debit cards in seconds which in turn can be used to carry out such transactions without any hassles. This virtual dollar card can be used multiple times for transactions in dollars.

Unlike all other payment platforms where strict identification is required, and approval takes a longer time to process, Barter requires only a valid/working email address and a phone number and then relies on the customer details gotten by the user’s bank.

Another feature of interest from Barter that can be accessed easily via its app, is that users can make monetary requests from other users on the app, where such request could either be accepted or declined respectively.

Now, assuming you and a couple of your friends contribute N1,000 at the end of every week for something you all want to get, you can make a request on the app by simply inputting the amount you need (N1,000), what the money is meant for, followed by the person's phone number or email and your pin and send. This then shows a notification on the receiver’s dashboard that you need the N1,000 for the specified reason and the receiver can either accept or decline the said request.

Barter has really breached the gap in the way people perform transactions.

I sometimes refer to it as the “Big bro” in the online payment providers ecosystem.

Money Transfer and on currency trading sites
Some other features of Barter include:

It allows you to manage your payments and subscriptions (DStv, Gotv, Mobile data, Electricity bills, etc.), where you can pay via QR (you simply scan the QR code to make payments).
Its service charge to banks is cheaper than what traditional banks require.
It gives cash back for mobile top up requests.
It also makes you have sufficient control over what you are spending.
Allows you to save up for that future project you want to work on later.
Request for loans.

Rave
This is another service introduced by Flutterwave. It is an online payment gateway where payments can be made and accepted from anywhere in the world with ease. Its primary goal is to enable the ease of transactions.

All transactions made using Rave by Flutterwave is encrypted. As expected of any secure payment gateway, Rave by Flutterwave ensures you authenticate payments made with your card using a one-time password, among other options (USSD or direct debit).

You can sign up for a free Rave account and enjoy the features mentioned above from https://rave.flutterwave.com/signup

Flutterwave’s achievements
In 2017, because of Flutterwave’s revolutionary payment solutions, it received $10 million in funding from American venture capitalists. One of its co-founders Iyinoluwa Aboyeji was featured in a special piece by CNN Money.

Also, for its excellent work in the digital payment niche, Flutterwave was awarded as the ‘Best Payments Company’ at the Ghana eCommerce Awards Ceremony in 2018.

According to the company, it has processed 100 million transactions worth $2.6 billion since inception.

In 2019, to foster the payment transaction between China and Africa, Flutterwave partnered with, Alipay, Alibaba’s digital wallet and payments platform. In 2013, Alipay surpassed PayPal in payments volume and currently claims a global network of more than 1 billion active users, per Alibaba’s latest earnings report. The partnership and integration is expected to capture payment activity around $200 billion.

As part of its goal in reaching out to the next generation, Flutterwave collaborated with Greensprings School, where her students were taken on a 4-weeks internship, and they were able to design two fintech products, which will soon be launched into the market.

From these yearly recognitions, it is evident how Flutterwave is among the best online payment providers. There are many advantages associated with Flutterwave, which include:

Zero set-up fee policy: Its zero set-up fee policy is a great incentive for start-up and small-medium enterprises(SME’s).
Different currency transactions: The Rave platform accepts multiple currencies transactions, i.e. you can be in Nigeria, and someone in the U.S. can pay for your service.

However, since a lot of its clients also conduct their business offline, there is a need to integrate some new methods to exploit this opportunity like introducing point of sale (POS) machine for their clients’ offline business.

The Dominican Republic is a North American, Carribean country. The country is located on Hispaniola, the first permanent European settlement. It is known for being the perfect resort spot and for having one of the best climates in the Caribbean. Its capital is Santo Domingo. The Dominican Republic must be distinguished from the Commonwealth of Dominica (Dominica) as these are two distinct countries.

The climate in the DR is often described as "the endless summer". The country has a warm, tropical climate all year round that is just perfect for reclining and relaxing on its several beaches. Dominicans dress lightly and employ fabrics like cotton. It is pretty much ok to visit the DR at any time of the year although temperatures drop during winter.

Family, food, and music are the heart of the Dominican Republic. The country's culture is a curious mix of different influences such as European and African. The Spanish culture is core in the Dominican Republic though. The country is mostly populated by "mestizos", people with mixed bloodlines of European (de facto Spanish) and Amerindian ancestry. DR is 73% mestizo, 16% Caucasian and 11% black. The DR is 90% Christian. Its official language is Spanish.

DR's cuisine also features a lot of Spanish, Taino, and African influences. Basic foods here are sauteed onions, fried eggs, fried cheese, avocado and they favour meats and starches over dairy products and vegetables. Some Dominican foods are Chicharron, yuca, casabe, pastelitos (empanadas), yams, etc.

Being a beautiful Carribean country, The Dominican Republic has a lot of beautiful resort and relaxation locations. Some lovely places to be are:
Santo Domingo's Zona Colonial: This beautiful city offers many historical sites surviving from the colonial era such as ancient architecture now housing restaurants, shops, and hotels. The old colonial homes can also be found in this city.
Punta Cana: This is a splendid resort destination where the white sands of the endless beach are blinding and the clear blue waters are hypnotizing. The beach here is bursting with activity and there are choice restaurants on the beach.
Whale Watching in Samana Bay: From December through to March, thousands of humpback whales enter the waters of Samana Bay to mate. These whales of Samana Bay are a huge and most fascinating tourist attraction.
Las Terrenas: If you are looking to enjoy the comforts of the city but with an easy escape route for relaxation- a beach destination, Las Terrenas is the ideal spot. This busy Dominican city has a laid back beachfront where one can always take a break from city life to relax whilst still being in the city.
Jarabacoa: Because of this city's tropical climate, it is called "the city of everlasting spring". Against its scenic beauty it features mountains, pools, and waterfalls.

The country's main exports are cocoa, coffee, bauxite, meats, nickel, silver, sugar, and tobacco. There are two beautiful precious stones that can only be found in the Dominican Republic; Amber and Larimar.

Hotel accommodation in the Dominican Republic ranges from budget to luxury.

Most boring guy are pretenders... They are actually hiding some bad habits that's why they are shy!

If it warrants it. Jesus Christ attended a party in Cana of Galilee and manufactured wine

Misquoting the bible... Was the party He attended a worldly one? Were they using vulgar words? Is the wine an alcoholic wine?

All ye FFK beefers atleast this man is not chasing 9years old piking everywhere like your Mr. Change...

watered:
GMB is currently in Gana street in Maitama so come over and ask him. How about your clerics who have defiled minors. In as much as your allegations are unjustifiable but at least Buhari married Aisha at the end. Bros go get a wife and stop hating!

Do you have a 9yrs old sister or daughter I want to marry her.

linuxuser:


In adittion sir, the bible says run away from anything that "APPEARS" to be evil. Not evil alone but anything that APPEARS to be evil. APC surely appears to be evil considering their sponsors and their LIES.

Everything about them is evil...

ebiagtales:


Have you ever attended the sendforth party of someone? Will you tell me that u didn't shake yourself to the rhythm? Forget the lyrics, sometimes your body moves to the rhythms even before you find out its lyrics

Sai Buhari

Should a pastor be in such a gathering in the first place?

Please when his Punt for Pride 4 starting?

Y'all saying its good for pastors to go into politics, I think you need a rethink on this matter. I was watching the reshow of Olamide In Concert (OLIC) and I saw the so called pastor Osibanjo in attendance. He is not only in attendance he was also shaking his heads to the song of Olamide. So my questions to you are If he is still a pastor will he be in the concert? Is it Godly for him to be in the concert and dance to the tunes of the songs knowing the vulgarity of the lyrics of songs like Story For The gods and the likes?
