Send by Flutterwave launches Naira travel card for diaspora holiday spending

Send App, a cross-border remittance product of Africa’s largest payments startup Flutterwave, has launched a physical Naira card for Nigerians returning home from the diaspora for the festive season. The card, dubbed the Send App Travel Card, was launched in partnership with Odysy, a business expense management company and technology partner, and AfriGO, the Nigerian domestic card scheme.

“For years, we’ve helped Nigerians abroad support life at home through fast, reliable remittances,” Harvey Bahia, Head of Send App Business, Flutterwave, said. “Now, for the first time, we’re giving them a physical way to spend with the same ease and control when they return.”

The launch hopes to address the pain point for Nigerians who return home in December and face significant barriers due to cash limitations, unpredictable exchange rates, and failures of some foreign cards. In 2024 alone, Nigerians living abroad spent at least ₦60 billion during their December homecoming visits, according to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).
