LemFi continues its mission to build a financial ecosystem where its customers can live, earn, and belong everywhere.

Lagos- DEC 12, 2025

LemFi, the leading financial platform building innovative international payment products and solutions, today announced the launch of Global Accounts, a financial solution designed for Africa’s thriving freelance and digital economy. Starting in Nigeria, the product allows customers to open and operate real USD & GBP accounts directly on their mobile phones, on the LemFi app.

Africa’s freelance market is booming. With a vibrant, tech-savvy population and expertise spanning software development, digital marketing and creative skills, the continent’s professionals are competing and contributing on a global scale. However, a critical barrier has held them back: receiving international payments is often costly, complicated and unreliable.

With Global Accounts, we’re giving them what they’ve always deserved: direct access to the global financial system, no more asking friends abroad for help, no more feeling left out of global moments. Global Accounts gives you a financial identity that is as global as your ambitions.”
