FLUTTERWAVE PAY

Why does this charge appear?

When you purchase from a merchant or platform that uses Flutterwave as its payment processing backbone, the transaction routes through Flutterwave's gateway infrastructure, which stamps "FLUTTERWAVE PAY" onto your bank statement rather than the name of the original merchant or even simply "Flutterwave." The descriptor is formatted this way because Flutterwave, a Nigerian-founded fintech company operating across Africa and beyond, processes payments on behalf of thousands of businesses, and the "PAY" suffix is appended by their system to distinguish gateway-processed transactions from other financial activity. If you made a purchase from an African e-commerce site, a digital service, or any business using Flutterwave's infrastructure, the FLUTTERWAVE PAY charge on your statement reflects that underlying payment processing relationship rather than a direct charge from Flutterwave itself.
