“I had money in my account, but my payment was declined.” That moment, traveling in a new country and being unable to spend money he already had, made a bigger problem impossible to ignore. Meet Joshua Adepoju (@iamoffchain), founder of @LooprailHQ, a platform to help people move money into, out of, and across Africa, quickly and affordably. Sending, spending, and receiving money across the continent often means juggling different apps, providers, and payment rails. Joshua and his team began with a remittance-focused product. But conversations with users, diaspora communities, and businesses revealed a bigger opportunity: building a unified financial layer for Africa. Looprail is now in beta, with early users, its first transactions, and payout coverage across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania. The team has also established partnerships across on-ramp, off-ramp, wallet, and identity services to support its growing infrastructure. “We’re building on Base for its reliable, low-cost transactions and developer ecosystem: tools that can help bring global financial access to more people across Africa.” - @iamoffchain Looprail’s vision is simple: make moving money across borders feel as seamless as sending a text message. @LooprailHQ is built on @base.
