As part of its expansion across Africa, Leaf Wallet has changed its name to BOSS Money

IDT Corporation, a global provider of fintech, cloud communications and traditional communications services, today announced that it is rebranding its African Leaf Wallet app as IDT’s flagship financial services brand, BOSS Money.

The rebranding is part of a broader initiative to leverage Leaf Wallet’s core technologies to gradually expand across Africa, enabling US consumers to send remittances directly to family and friends on the continent.

The newly branded BOSS Money wallet will continue to use Leaf Wallet’s innovative blockchain-powered technology on the Stellar Network, allowing customers across Africa to securely store, send, receive and exchange currencies on their phones at home and abroad. The wallet will continue to allow customers to access funds and transact on internet-connected phones using a USSD interface, which can be accessed via a short code and app.

The Boss Money wallet will enable customers across Africa to receive money in their local currency directly from US customers using BOSS Money app. Contributed funds can be used to purchase airtime, pay bills locally, and transfer to others BOSS Money users across Africa for free. Funds can also be withdrawn to the recipient’s bank account or mobile operator’s wallet.

“We see a huge opportunity across Africa to expand our reach and reach millions of new customers with BOSS Money portfolio and enable our current and new customers to connect with their family and friends in the U.S.,” said Nat Robinson, Leaf CEO.

Newly renamed BOSS Money The app is now available for download in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda and will soon be available in Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia and Tanzania.

“BOSS Money will enable U.S. customers to safely send money in seconds, like a local, to family, friends and loved ones across Africa. Recipients of funds can use their own BOSS Money wallet to be able to choose how, when and where to access these funds,” said Grace Anyetei, regional director of operations for IDT based in Nairobi, Kenya.
