Why is Bayfikr crowdfunding?
Bayfikr means Hakuna Matata. We are an app that is by migrants, for migrants. With a goal to serving migrants in developed countries like UK, Bayfikr is an impact led startup empowering migrants to make & purchase value-added payments & services in their home countries, along with traditional remittances, without the need to setup bank accounts. With Bayfikr, users can pay for utility bills, university fees, medical payments & more, in their home countries directly from their international bank accounts. This means you migrants can now pay their mother’s electricity bill in Ghana or their son’s tuition fee in Bangladesh directly from wherever they are.

Crowdfunding makes use of the easy accessibility of vast networks of people through social media and crowdfunding websites to bring investors and entrepreneurs together, with the potential to grow a particular business.”[1]
