Featured on TechEconomy: Oneremit’s Role in Digitizing B2B Payments Across Africa

We are excited to share that a recent article by our CEO/Co-Founder, Hammed Afenifere “Digitizing the Dollar: The Rise of Stablecoins in African B2B Payments” was featured on TechEconomy, one of Nigeria’s leading tech publications.

This is more than just a media feature. It’s a signal that what we’re building at Oneremit matters and that the future of cross-border payments in Africa is already being redefined.

Why Stablecoins, Why Now?

At Oneremit, we’ve long believed that stablecoins—dollar-pegged digital currencies like USDC and USDT are the future of business payments in Africa.

In our TechEconomy article, we broke down three major reasons:

• Speed: Forget days. Stablecoin settlements take minutes.

• Cost: No middlemen. No outrageous FX spreads.

• Stability: In volatile economies, USD-backed assets offer predictability.

The article shows how real this shift already is. According to PYMNTS, stablecoins now power over $36 billion annually in B2B transactions globally—most of it from businesses like yours moving fast and smart.

What This Means for African Businesses

African businesses face a unique mix of challenges:

• Limited dollar liquidity

• Unpredictable exchange rates

• Delayed international settlements

Stablecoins solve these problems by allowing businesses to:

✅ Invoice and pay in a globally accepted unit (the digital dollar)
✅ Send and receive money instantly across borders
✅ Bypass costly correspondent banks

The Role We’re Playing at Oneremit

At Oneremit, we’re building the rails for instant, compliant, and stablecoin-powered B2B payments across Africa. Whether you’re importing equipment from Turkey, paying a freelancer in the Philippines, or funding your tech partner in Dubai, we help you:

• Send stablecoins

• Cash out to local banks

• Track transactions transparently

• Stay compliant with local laws

Our system bridges stablecoin utility with practical African business needs.

Key Takeaways from the Feature

Here’s what was emphasized in the article:

“Stablecoins streamline B2B transactions—removing FX barriers, reducing settlement time, and giving businesses a reliable ‘dollar’ alternative in volatile markets.”

Hammed also discussed tactical steps for businesses:

1. Start with the right stablecoin—USDC is a solid bet for compliance and integration.

2. Onboard your vendors and suppliers to stablecoin-friendly wallets.

3. Stay ahead of regulation—we help you stay compliant while moving fast.

   

   Why This Recognition Matters

Being featured on TechEconomy isn’t just a media moment—it’s recognition of a growing movement. A movement where:

• African businesses take control of their financial flows

• Stablecoins enable real-world trade, not just speculation

• Platforms like Oneremit lead this transformation from the front
