Raenest's June 2026 Roundup

Half the year is already behind us.

Somehow, six months have passed since we all welcomed a brand new year with ambitious plans, exciting ideas, and a long list of things we hoped to accomplish. June always carries that strange feeling of being both an ending and a beginning. It marks the close of one chapter while setting the pace for everything still to come.

As we looked back on the month, we realised just how much had happened. Here's what we were up to in June.

We paid out Rewards

‍

June brought a pleasant surprise for many members of the Raenest community, as eligible users received Rewards directly into their Reward Wallets.

Rewards is our way of saying thank you to customers who actively use their Raenest accounts. If you received one, think of it as a little extra for doing what you already do: receiving international payments, managing your USD wallet, spending with your USD card, and staying engaged with the platform.

Didn't receive a Reward this time? You can improve your chances of future payouts by maintaining a good monthly average USD balance, receiving payments into your USD account, spending with your USD card, converting funds as needed, and keeping your account in good standing. (T&C apply).

You can also earn up to $155 through referrals. Invite a friend to Raenest using your unique referral link, and when they sign up successfully, you'll receive $5 while they earn $2 (T&C apply). These are the ways we're making Raenest more rewarding for you.

Have you updated your USD banking details?

‍

A few weeks ago, we introduced USD accounts powered by a new banking partner, giving you a faster, more reliable way to receive and manage USD payments. If you haven't made the switch yet, this is your friendly reminder. You can do that in just a few minutes from the Accounts page in your Raenest app.

Once it's ready, update your payment details on the platforms you use. That includes platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Payoneer, Gusto, your employer's payroll system, and any clients who pay you directly.

This way, your USD payments continue to arrive without interruption, and you can enjoy improvements such as faster ACH deposits, FedNow support, improved domestic wire processing, and FastTrack withdrawals from Upwork.

Will we see you at Raenest Exchange?

‍

All eyes are on 21 October in Lagos, Nigeria, as Raenest Exchange returns, bringing together some of Africa's brightest builders, creators, founders, freelancers, and investors for a day of inspiring conversations and meaningful connections.

To give you a taste of what's in store, we're excited to share a first look at two speakers joining this year's lineup: Adeife Adeoye of Remote workHER and Harri Obi of the Solana Blockchain team. And this is just the beginning. We'll start unveiling more speakers throughout July, so keep an eye on our social channels.

If you haven't registered yet, now's the perfect time to claim your spot.

‍

Congratulations to everyone who received dividend payouts! 🎉

Bella's Gems

June carried us to the halfway mark of the year. Before July picks up the pace and H2 unfolds in full, here's a small reset. Three songs to soundtrack your days, three shows to get lost in, three films worth pressing play on, and three books to carry with you as you step into the next chapter of the year.

That's a wrap on June. Thank you for building, growing, investing, earning, and celebrating every milestone with us. Here's to an even bigger second half of the year. And if you're reading this without a Raenest account, we'd love to be your global money partner. Create a Raenest account today.
