Businesses across Africa run on USD , but getting access to it through a bank means documentation, approvals, delays, and fees that eat into every transaction. LINK fixes that. Send local currency, your supplier receives USD. Simple.

🧵 Malawi imports $2.5 - 3B a year. But businesses with the money ready, the kwacha in hand, and the supplier waiting, still can't get USD out of their bank. Here's what that actually looks like. [1/5]

🧵 A major FMCG group in Angola was generating $5M every week. Retail across multiple cities. Hospitality. Industrial. Packaging. A well-run, high-revenue operation. But they could only move a fraction of their own money. Here's what was happening. [1/6]

$873 billion flows between the US and Mexico every year, the most active trade corridor in the Western Hemisphere. Yet businesses on both sides are still dealing with settlement delays, FX markups, and payment friction that shouldn't exist at this scale.

🧵 $20.9 billion flows between China and Angola every year. It's one of Africa's biggest trade corridors. But the payments moving that trade? Still broken. Here's what that actually looks like. [1/3]

CHINA → AFRICA TRADE KEEPS GROWING Exports are up 25% YoY. Demand is there. But the payment infrastructure isn't. Here's what's really happening 🧵

The IMF confirmed it: the mechanism to convert and move money out is broken. Traditional banking rails can't handle it. Transfers that should clear in days are stuck for months. If you're waiting on payment from Mozambique, you know exactly what this means. #EmergingMarkets

Mozambique has $4.2B in reserves—6.5 months of import cover. The IMF still denied their financial assistance request. Here's why payments can't leave Mozambique, and what it means for anyone doing business there 🧵 #Mozambique

Most global payment platforms support multiple currencies. Very few support multiple methods. M-Pesa. Vodafone Cash. Bank transfer. Stablecoin. Your users across Africa, LatAm, and Asia Pacific don't all move money the same way.

THREAD 🧵 Africa imported $225B worth of goods from China in 2025. On paper, that’s growth. More trade. More opportunity. But that’s only half the story 👇

$4 billion in reserves. 63 companies waiting. $373 million stuck in the queue. Mozambique has the money. Getting it out? That's the problem. 🧵

Your suppliers are global. Your payment stack shouldn't be the bottleneck. 20+ markets. 10+ currencies. PIX, SEPA, SWIFT, Interac — all under one API. Pay suppliers anywhere in the world with custom FX rates and local rails that actually work.
