Case Study: Go2Africa streamlines global payments and reduces FX risk with Flywire

Go2Africa finds perfect travel partner in Flywire

Go2Africa, a multi-award-winning travel specialist for African safaris, faced significant payment friction after their previous provider restricted services for the travel industry. Their new, local payment solution could not automate currency conversion, forcing Go2Africa to assume FX risk, and its security protocols created roadblocks that prevented international clients from completing transactions. This created a major barrier to booking at a critical time for the company's recovery.

By implementing Flywire, Go2Africa provided a seamless payment journey for its global travelers. The Flywire platform allows customers to pay in their local currency while the company receives funds in USD and ZAR, mitigating FX risk and simplifying supplier payments. With dedicated support and secure, frictionless transactions, Flywire saved the finance team an estimated six hours per week and helped inspire client confidence, contributing to the company's record sales and exponential growth.
