The finance OS for businesses moving money across borders
Pay suppliers, run payroll, issue virtual USD cards, settle bills, and withdraw to your bank — from one account built on Paystack and Stripe. Available in Africa, North America, and Europe.
Everything your finance team needs, in one account
Replace scattered bank apps, FX agents, and spreadsheets with a single controlled system — wherever you operate.
Cross-border payments to suppliers & vendors
Send same-currency payouts to suppliers and partners across Africa, the US, UK, Canada, and the EU. Paystack powers African corridors; Stripe handles everything else. Every transfer lands with a full audit trail and mandatory maker-checker sign-off.
Same-currency settlement only — no FX conversion inside Financiar.
Issue Stripe-backed virtual cards for SaaS, ad spend, and international supplier payments. Set per-card limits and freeze instantly. For Nigerian and Ghanaian businesses: a USD card for global spend — not a local-currency card.
Budgets by department or project, expense capture with receipts, and maker-checker approvals so money only moves with the right sign-off — available in all 20+ launch countries.
Run recurring salary runs in your local currency with idempotent processing — each employee paid exactly once, no double-pays on retries. Tax estimates included; filing is not. Available in all launch regions.
Settle vendor invoices and recurring bills directly from your Financiar wallet. Every payment runs through the same approval workflow — so finance has full visibility, not just ops.
1-click withdrawals to bank
Withdraw your wallet balance to your registered business bank account in all launch regions — including Nigerian Paystack virtual account holders, and Stripe-connected accounts in the US, UK, EU, and Canada.

Security & compliance
Compliance built in, not bolted on
Moving money across regulatory jurisdictions demands more than a polished interface. Financiar is built so safety is the default state — not a checkbox at the end of a feature sprint.
AES-256 field-level encryption
Bank details are ciphertext at rest — not plaintext in any database, readable only by the transaction engine.
Mandatory KYC on every account
Server-enforced before any payout. Aligned to NDPR (Nigeria/Africa), GDPR (EU/UK), and AML obligations.
Maker-checker approvals
High-value payouts require a second authoriser. No single point of failure on transfers that matter.
Transaction PIN + AWS Cognito
Every sensitive action requires your PIN. Authentication is backed by AWS Cognito — not a home-grown session store.

Is my money and data safe?
Bank-detail fields are encrypted at rest with AES-256, auth runs on AWS Cognito, payments go through Paystack and Stripe, and every account completes KYC aligned to NDPR (Nigeria/Africa), GDPR (EU/UK), and AML requirements. Card numbers are tokenised by Stripe and never stored in plaintext.
Does Financiar convert currencies?
No. Financiar accounts hold your local currency. Payouts are same-currency: you pay suppliers who receive the same currency you hold. There is no FX conversion inside the platform. To pay an international supplier, use your Financiar virtual USD/EUR/GBP card where the supplier accepts those currencies.
Can I issue virtual cards for my team?
Yes. Financiar issues USD, EUR, and GBP virtual cards via Stripe Issuing. For Nigerian and Ghanaian businesses, this means a USD card for international spend on SaaS, ads, and suppliers — not a local-currency card. Virtual cards are not yet available for Rwanda and South Africa accounts.
How do I fund my account?
Nigerian and Ghanaian businesses receive a dedicated virtual account number for local bank transfers via Paystack. Businesses in Rwanda and South Africa fund by card today. US, UK, EU, and Canadian businesses fund by card or bank transfer via Stripe.
Does Financiar handle tax filing?
No. Financiar provides tax estimates to help your finance team plan salary runs, but does not file taxes on your behalf. Statutory filing remains your responsibility, typically with your local tax authority or accountant.
