Powered by stablecoin settlement infrastructure, YouSend completes 95% of transfers in under two minutes. YouSend, a cross-border remittance app built for African immigrants, is now live in the United Kingdom and Canada. Transfers reach recipients in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania in minutes, with transparent exchange rates and around-the-clock availability. Service in the EU and the United States will follow in the coming weeks.
For millions of African immigrants in the UK and Canada, sending money home still means navigating fragmented corridors, settlement windows that stall on weekends and public holidays, and support systems built around chatbots rather than people. YouSend was designed around a different standard: transparent exchange rates, transfers that arrive in minutes, and live human support available every hour of every day.
YouSend runs on a stablecoin settlement infrastructure that replaces the prefunded float and the fragmented treasury operations that drive traditional remittance corridors. The technology sits beneath a simple user experience: the sender picks a recipient, confirms an amount, and the money arrives. The stablecoin layer handles the rest.
Before going public, YouSend processed over $1 million in transfers driven entirely by word-of-mouth and referrals, completing 95% of transactions in under two minutes. Every customer reaches a live human support team, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The company holds licences from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, FINTRAC in Canada, and the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The founding team first identified the opportunity in 2021, convinced that stablecoin settlement could solve the structural problems that had kept cross-border remittance slow and expensive. Rather than rush to market, they watched the category test that thesis through successive launches and service failures, and moved when it became clear that the core problem remained unsolved.
