With the global workforce becoming increasingly mobile, international money transfers have equally grown in prominence. These money transfers are called remittances, which can be defined as the money migrants send back to their families and friends in their home countries. 

Sierra Leonean diasporas send millions of dollars annually to family, friends, and business partners living in the country to support them or pay for services on pending projects. One of the common reasons these monies are transferred is to fund building projects. To send money home costs time and money. 

Ria Money Transfer, Moneygram, BnB transfer, Western Union, and Afro International are some of the popular money transfer companies used by Sierra Leoneans both at home and abroad to send and receive money. However, there is a downside to using these companies to send and receive money, some of which are the long queues, additional documentation, closing hours, and there is the harsh reality of most of them not doing business on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Ezipay Sierra Leone is a virtual mobile wallet that allows its users from around the world to send money to Sierra Leone swiftly. The app allows users to transfer money from a virtual wallet to that of the receiver’s wallet or mobile money account.
