Fluxa is a Stellar-native cross-border treasury and payment platform built for African businesses.
We enable businesses across Africa to receive, hold, convert, and send money globally using modern payment infrastructure powered by the Stellar network.
By combining traditional financial rails with USDC on Stellar, Fluxa provides fast, low-cost, and transparent international payments while maintaining a simple business banking experience.
