The right payment method is one of the most important decisions to make when you are about to start any business which involves cash payments in this present world. RavePay, by Flutterwave, provides a safe method for business owners, where customers can pay from cards, bank accounts, and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD). The USSD is powered by mCASH. With Rave, merchants can now receive payments globally.
Also, RavePay introduced digital Point Of Sale (POS) at the Jollof Festival.

RavePay works with a PCIDSS compliant solution for top notch security and protection of the customers’ details. It is also easy to use. Rave allows merchants to charge cards and bank accounts directly and supports multi-currency, so business owners can receive payments in other currencies. It also supports currency conversions.
With these sort of innovations rising up in Nigeria for Africa, soon Africa and the rest of the world will be on a level playing field such that the African merchant can comfortably focus on his business without worrying about how to receive payments. This will also give a more even basis for competition in the global market.
This is good news for Africa and Nigeria. To get started with Rave, simply create an account here.
