Flutterwave  has announced that it has now processed over 1 billion transactions, moving more than $40 billion in total payment value, marking a major milestone in its growth as one of Africa’s leading payments infrastructure companies.

In a year-end reflection covering its progress through 2025, the company highlighted significant expansion across its payment ecosystem. Wallet-based collections surged by 289% in transaction volume, while bank transfer value rose by 184%, driven by increasing adoption of local payment methods by businesses and consumers.

Flutterwave stated that it now supports payments in more than 50 global currencies across Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The company also secured new operating licenses in Senegal, Zambia, and Cameroon, further strengthening its regulatory footprint across the continent.

The fintech firm said it deepened strategic partnerships with Circle and Polygon to integrate stablecoin capabilities into its infrastructure, enhancing cross-border settlement efficiency and enabling faster, more scalable international payments for businesses using its platform.

The company credited its achievements to its workforce, describing employees as the driving force behind its operations. It noted that teams continued to deliver under challenging economic and regulatory conditions, building products, improving systems, and supporting customers across multiple markets.

As part of its internal growth framework, Flutterwave confirmed that over 100 employees were promoted during the year, with advancement based on performance, ownership, and contribution to company objectives.

The company also announced a one-time global economic relief payment for employees, along with targeted tax adjustment support in Nigeria following recent regulatory changes affecting take-home pay. It said the measures were designed to balance business growth with employee welfare amid broader economic pressures.

Looking ahead to 2026, Flutterwave said it remains focused on enabling cross-border commerce and supporting African businesses as they expand globally. The company described itself as central to the continent’s digital commerce transformation, emphasizing its role in building infrastructure for scalable international trade.

Flutterwave concluded that its future growth will continue to be driven by its people, describing them as the foundation of its mission to power payments and economic opportunity across Africa and beyond.
