The United States of America has long been a sought-after destination for Africans, particularly Nigerians seeking diverse living opportunities. Since 2015, Nigerian immigrants have accounted for over 0.6% of the overall foreign-born population in the United States, making it one of the largest single sources of African migration.
LemFi stands out as a prominent force in the African fintech landscape, experiencing impressive growth and transformation with invaluable support from distinguished venture capital partners like Zrosk, Ventures Platform Fund, and Microtraction. This collaboration has fueled LemFi’s innovation drive and global expansion of its international payments services. With a shared vision of providing secure and accessible financial solutions, LemFi’s USA launch marks a significant milestone. Kola Aina, a Partner at Ventures Platform Fund, underscores the importance of Nigeria’s Diaspora remittances in mitigating foreign exchange scarcity and maintaining the nation’s forex reserves. In light of this, he expresses pride in LemFi’s seamless execution and the empowerment it offers African diasporans. Aina states, “We are very proud of the progress LemFi has made in executing flawlessly and offering a platform that empowers African diasporans to maintain their financial and non-financial ties with Nigeria and the rest of Africa. LemFi truly unlocks opportunities for millions.”
