Case Study: Wakanow expands cross-border travel payments with Flutterwave

Wakanow’s New Market Opportunities with Flutterwave

Wakanow, a leading African online travel company, faced significant challenges managing cross-border payments from its international and local customers. Difficulties with multiple currencies, payment methods, and regulatory compliance were causing unsuccessful bookings and transaction delays, hindering their growth. To overcome this, Wakanow partnered with Flutterwave to implement its robust payment infrastructure and gateway.

By utilizing Flutterwave's solutions, Wakanow seamlessly integrated multiple payment methods including cards, bank transfers, and mobile money. This provided customers a frictionless way to pay while allowing Wakanow to receive settlements in their preferred currencies. As a result, Flutterwave enabled Wakanow to scale its operations, successfully expanding its payment collection from Nigeria into several other African countries, the UK, and the UAE, solidifying its position as a leading travel platform.
