At Duplo, we’re on a mission to simplify business finance across Africa, and today, we’re taking a bold step forward.
We’re excited to announce the launch of International Payments on the Duplo platform, empowering businesses in Nigeria to send money to over 160 countries in 80+ currencies, directly from their dashboard. Whether you’re paying global vendors, remote employees, or international partners, you can now do it all in one place, without delays or external tools.
Why We Built It
More and more Nigerian businesses are working with international teams, suppliers, and platforms. Yet, cross-border payments have remained frustratingly slow, manual, and error-prone. Traditional FX transfers could take over 24 hours, require multiple platforms, and were difficult to track.
That changes now.
Duplo’s International Payments feature was built to remove friction and give you speed, visibility, and control, all while staying fully compliant.
What’s New?
Here’s what you can now do on the Duplo platform:
1. Swap Currencies in Minutes
Instantly convert NGN to USD, GBP, or EUR, and fund your FX wallet right inside Duplo.
2. Payout to Global Beneficiaries
Initiate cross-border payments directly from your Duplo wallet, no need to switch tools or rely on third-party services.
3. Get Real-Time Exchange Rates
Enjoy accurate rate fetching with full transparency before you send.
4. Track Every Payment in Real Time
Know the status of your transactions (processing, successful, or failed) as they happen.
5. Stay Compliant with Document Management
Upload and download invoices, payment records, and compliance documents all in one place.
6. Handle Failed Payments with Ease
If a transaction fails, it’s automatically reversed to your FX wallet, and you’ll be notified instantly.
Why It Matters
- Faster Payments: Targeted processing time of under 12 hours.
- Operational Efficiency: Less admin work and fewer errors.
- Full Control: All your global payments, visible and manageable from a single platform.
- Smarter Spend Management: Duplo isn’t just for local payments anymore — it’s your full-suite spend platform.
Bonus: Automated Compliance for Onboarding
We’ve also rolled out the first phase of Compliance Automation, a huge leap for business onboarding. With features like automated KYC submission, document validation, real-time verification status, and secure document storage, your team can start transacting faster and safer.
