Settled over GIMACPAY
The interbank switch of Central Africa — the same rails your bank at home uses.
Built for families
Every transfer is a hug from far away.
School fees in Douala. Rent in Dakar. A surprise for maman in Abidjan. We make sure the money you send lands exactly where it matters — so the people you love feel close, even when you're oceans apart.
How it works
Three taps. That's the whole thing.
We stripped the form-filling out of sending money. No jargon, no surprise screens, no "pending" limbo.

Standing orders for home
Rent, school fees or monthly support — scheduled, with a nudge before it goes.

88+ places your money can land.
We settle through GIMAC, the interbank switch of Central Africa — so every member bank, wallet and microfinance institution across the six CEMAC states is reachable, plus our UEMOA partners.
Bank · wallet · cash, one rail
Institution availability can vary by corridor and by the recipient's account type. If your bank isn't listed, mobile money or cash pickup always works.

Loved at both ends
What families tell us.
I used Western Union for years. Katika took one minute and gave me a much better rate.
Nana A.Paris → DoualaI checked three apps before sending. Katika gave my mother 12,000 XAF more. That covers her hospital bill at the clinic.
Chidi O.Marseille → AbidjanSunday evening in Lyon. My brother in Douala had the money before we finished talking. That's why I only use Katika.
Amina S.Lyon → DakarI use Katika for my family every month. When I was in Abidjan on holiday, I even sent money to myself — same low fee, same fast delivery.
Yannick T.Paris → AbidjanQuestions
Straight answers.
