Africhange Technologies Limited, the Canada-based remittance company, is making bold moves in the cryptocurrency space.
Fintech has introduced USD Virtual Accounts, stablecoin funding, and crypto payment options. It blends traditional remittances with digital assets.
This means users can send funds from London to Lagos in USDC while recipients receive naira directly in their bank. Cross-border transfers have never been this simple.
Africhange operates in Nigeria, the UK, Canada, and Australia. It serves corridors throughout Africa and Europe.
The timing of these launches is perfect. Cryptocurrency adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa is booming. Chainalysis reports that on-chain transactions topped $205 billion between July 2024 and June 2025.
That’s a 52% increase from the previous year. In Nigeria alone, nearly 26 million people, about 12% of the population, now use digital assets.
Africhange Launches USD Virtual Accounts and Stablecoin Support
Africhange’s USD Virtual Accounts tackle one of the biggest challenges in remittance: deposit fees.
Unlike competitors, users can fund these accounts without paying extra charges. They can hold USD balances, convert currencies at competitive rates, and transfer funds easily.
The platform also accepts USDT and USDC. Users can move stablecoins from exchanges like Coinbase or Bybit directly into their Africhange accounts.
Businesses can also receive payments in stablecoins. This integration bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and practical financial use. It removes the need for cumbersome peer-to-peer trading and poor exchange rates.
Pay with Crypto and Platform Consolidation
Africhange has also launched a “Pay with Crypto” feature. Users fund remittance transactions with cryptocurrency, while recipients receive local currency.
Only the sender needs crypto knowledge, making transfers simple and user-friendly.
In addition, Africhange is integrating services from its sister company, NairaEx, into the main platform. NairaEx is winding down operations, but its features now strengthen Africhange’s remittance system. This consolidation creates a single platform for traditional and digital currency transactions across African corridors.
Strengthening Market Presence
Africhange holds licenses in Nigeria, the UK, Canada, and Australia. It already has the operational infrastructure to scale.
The new features target diaspora communities, cross-border businesses, and crypto-savvy users. They want convenience, speed, and security,all in one platform.
By combining traditional remittances with cryptocurrency, Africhange caters to both established and emerging users. USD Virtual Accounts are more than a product. They are a statement: cross-border payments can be smart, flexible, and digital-ready.
Africhange’s expansion shows that traditional finance and digital assets can coexist. As Africa’s digital economy grows, the platform provides a seamless, modern, and efficient solution. Millions of users can now send and receive money faster, safer, and smarter than ever before.
