Thinking of sending and receiving money from anywhere in the world at no charge? Chipper cash could be the ideal solution. Without incurring any costs or facing the ruthless taxes involved in monetary transactions, the cross-border mobile money platform is giving users a plan to send and receive money from foreign countries at zero cost.
Chipper cash app was founded by a partnership between Ham Serunjogi, a Ugandan, and Ghanaian Maijid Moujaled who wanted to create a feasible solution to the blocks associated with exchanging money in Africa.
Since the app’s global launch last year, it has managed to spread across 5 African countries including Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, and Kenya. The population served goes over the 70,000 mark, half of which are Ugandans. The company seeks to hit the million users mark by the end of this year.
In Uganda, Chipper Cash supports payments from Airtel, MTN and Africel, which are the major mobile money platforms. Users can send and receive money across all these mobile money platforms using Chipper Cash, any time, at no cost.
Some of the key pros that come with using the app is its flexibility which allows one to receive money in any currency, and not need to make a visit to a foreign exchange unit to transform it. The app automatically translates it into your home currency.
