Our Mission: Financial Freedom Without Borders
We're slashing transfer costs by 70% and cutting payment times from days to seconds - transforming how the global workforce gets paid.
We Lost $10,000 in Transfer Fees, So We Built the Solution
As freelancers, we watched banks take $42 in fees from $100 transfers while making us wait 5+ days for payments to arrive. That frustration - losing thousands in fees and countless opportunities due to payment delays - became our catalyst for change.
"When a Kenyan developer couldn't pay rent because her European client's payment was 'processing' for 7 days, we knew the system was broken. Payd now enables that same payment to arrive in 30 seconds with just $1 in fees."
- Benaiah Wepundi, Founder & Chief Maverick
Every feature we build solves a real problem we faced - from invoice tools that help you get paid 3x faster to currency accounts that save you thousands in conversion fees every year.
Money That Moves at the Speed of Opportunity
In today's world, a Kenyan developer collaborates with a Swiss startup, while a Nigerian designer creates for clients in New York - yet their money moves like it's 1975. We're changing that, delivering payments in seconds, not days.
When your payment arrives instantly instead of next week, you can seize opportunities today - whether that's paying rent on time, investing in new equipment, or simply enjoying the fruits of your labor without unnecessary delay.
We're building a financial ecosystem where a freelancer in Lagos can receive $5,000 from a client in London and access those funds within seconds - with fees of $25 instead of $250 - fundamentally changing the economics of global work.
How We're Transforming Global Finance
Our blueprint for creating financial tools that put thousands of dollars back in your pocket every year.
Deliver Instant Value
We don't build features that take months to show results. When you use Payd, you save money today - whether it's cutting a $50 transfer fee to $5 or receiving a $1,000 payment in seconds instead of waiting until next week. Every function delivers immediate financial impact.
Make Complexity Profitable
Cross-border finance is needlessly complicated, with each layer adding costs for users. We absorb the complexity so you benefit from simplicity - turning currency conversions from a cost center to a profit center, and making global payments as easy as sending a text message.
Unlock Hidden Earnings
Most freelancers lose 5-15% of their income to payment processing and currency conversion - money they've earned but never see. Our platform recovers these hidden earnings, putting thousands back in your pocket annually while providing tools to grow your income further.
