DiasporaTransfert — Remittances + Local Investment

Fintech platform enabling diaspora members to send money home while co-investing in local projects (real estate, agriculture, SMEs). Recipients receive funds in real time via mobile money.

Problem

The Problem

Money transfer fees to Africa remain among the highest globally (8-12%), and the diaspora lacks tools to invest back home.

Opportunity

The Opportunity

Remittances to West Africa exceed $20 billion/year; a service combining transfers and investment captures a loyal customer base.

The Concept

Mobile app with instant low-fee transfers (2%), interest-bearing savings account, and micro-investment marketplace in verified local projects.

The "Secret Sauce" (USP)

  • Fees 4x lower than traditional players (Western Union, MoneyGram)
  • Investment module: 8-12%/year return on local projects
  • Simplified KYC via selfie + ID document

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

To get started quickly:

Web + mobile app with France/Senegal transfer only, Wave and Orange Money integration, for 500 beta users.
