Pesa Expands to Australia to Deliver Transparent Financial Services for International Communities

Pesa, a cross-border financial platform built for international living, has launched its services in Australia, providing a clear, reliable, and affordable payment route between Australia and Nigeria.

…Our launch in Australia brings fairness, speed, and real community support to people living internationally.”

Authorized as an Independent Remittance Dealer (IRD) by Australia’s financial regulator, AUSTRAC (secured in July 2025), Pesa integrates directly with local Australian Dollar (AUD) payment infrastructure. By bypassing legacy correspondent banking networks, Pesa eliminates hidden exchange rate markups, delivering rapid transfers and clear pricing for international students, working professionals, and global families.

According to Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data, there are over 12,883 Nigeria-born residents in Australia, concentrated across Greater Sydney (24.4%), Greater Melbourne (18.9%), Greater Perth (11.8%), and Greater Brisbane (10.1%). Many migrants and students face high transfer fees, delayed delivery, and unclear pricing when moving money across countries. Pesa was created to solve these exact challenges.

“Think Money. Think Pesa,” said Tolu Osho, Co-Founder and CEO of Pesa. “Where traditional platforms see a transaction, Pesa sees family and life across borders. We built this platform so when people send money home for university tuition, family care, or personal projects, they know exactly how much will arrive. Our launch in Australia brings fairness, speed, and real community support to people living internationally.”

To ensure complete fund security and strict adherence to local regulations, Pesa’s compliance framework operates under AUSTRAC AML/CTF standards.
