Investor Brief
The GCC-Africa remittance corridor, the gap we're closing, and the raise behind MaliSwap's launch.
Market Opportunity
The GCC-Africa corridor is one of the world's most vital financial lifelines - UAE alone saw outward remittances of AED 147.8B (~$40B) in 2021, much of it still moving through slow, costly, one-way pipes.
The Gaps We're Closing
Every option on the corridor today solves part of the problem. None solve all of it - that gap is the opportunity.
Poor exchange rates and unpredictable total cost erode what actually lands.
Multi-day delays and arbitrary funds holding on legacy rails.
Built for sending only, and ignoring mobile-money-first economies.
Unclear landing amounts and no clear receipts until after the fact.
