Salary benchmarks
Our take
In Africa, goods importers pay as much as 10% to settle their invoices - and wait weeks for the payment to arrive. Capi is setting out to combat this, with its international payments platform built specifically for importers in Africa.
Through the platform, users can pay suppliers in EUR, UDS or GBP. All at competitive rates and with settlement in just 24 hours. This is a significant improvement to the present situation, which makes Capi stand out almost by default.
With strong support from investors, Capi is in a good position to broaden its impact in the future - as it strives towards a future where African companies have the same quality of payments as in the US and Europe.
