About Us
Who are we?
Raenest is a modern, multi-currency platform for Africans that makes managing money across borders easy. We offers fast, transparent, and affordable international payments, along with convenient ways to spend, save, invest, and grow wealth, empowering users to stay in control of their finances wherever their journey takes them.
We strongly believe that no African, whether a business or an individual, should face barriers to accessing and managing their finances globally—regardless of geography, regulatory hurdles, or high fees.
The African financial landscape presents numerous challenges for individuals and businesses, including fragmented and unstable currencies, limited interoperability between banks, restricted access to global banking services, and exorbitant costs associated with international payments.
According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, more than 1 in 4 people globally will be African by 2050, compared to 1 in 11 in 1960. However, the world is still grappling to understand the unique nature of the continent's financial system. This challenge is compounded by a fragmented financial ecosystem, unstable currencies, limited interoperability between banks, and restricted access to global banking services. We strongly believe in the capacity and potential of people in and from Africa to participate fully in the global economy.
Our purpose is to fulfil all regulatory, compliance, and technological requirements to make this a reality for you. Whether you are a freelancer, digital entrepreneur, content creator, independent contractor, startup, business needing FX to complete cross-border trade, or a global financial company wanting to do business on the continent, let us be your gateway to and from Africa.
