Flutterwave has crossed a major milestone in Africa’s fintech landscape, announcing that it has processed more than one billion transactions and facilitated over $40 billion in total payment value since its inception.
The achievement was disclosed by the company’s Founder and CEO, Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, who attributed the growth to rising adoption of digital payment channels across its markets.
According to Flutterwave, wallet-based collections recorded a 289% increase in transaction volume over the past year, while the value of bank transfer transactions grew by 184%, highlighting the growing role of digital payments in Africa’s expanding economy.
“Flutterwave has now processed more than 1 billion transactions and moved over $40 billion in total payment value. This foundation allowed us to achieve incredible momentum over the past year,” Agboola said.
The company now supports payments in more than 50 currencies across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. It also expanded its regulatory footprint by securing operating licences in Senegal, Zambia, and Cameroon.
To strengthen cross-border payment services, Flutterwave deepened its partnerships with Circle and Polygon, integrating stablecoin capabilities into its infrastructure to help businesses scale and enter new markets more efficiently.
Beyond business growth, the company said over 100 employees were promoted during its latest review cycle. Flutterwave also introduced a one-time economic relief payment for staff globally, alongside additional tax adjustment support and cost-of-living updates for eligible employees in Nigeria following recent tax regulation changes.
Agboola said the company remains committed to sharing the benefits of growth with its workforce, describing employee welfare as a key part of responsible leadership.
The milestone follows Flutterwave’s January 2026 acquisition of Nigerian open banking startup Mono in an all-stock deal valued at up to $40 million. Mono continues to operate independently while providing capabilities in financial data access, identity verification, and account-to-account payments, strengthening Flutterwave’s long-term vision for Africa’s financial infrastructure.
As digital commerce expands across the continent, Flutterwave’s latest figures reinforce its position as one of Africa’s leading payment technology companies and a key player in connecting businesses to the global economy.
