Why People Choose Zeam Over Other Apps to Send Money

We serve the people traditional banking often overlooks — the domestic workers, migrant workers, small traders, and families who keep Africa moving every single day. They trust Zeam because:

No Minimum Balance

Many people are locked out of banking services because they can’t meet high balance requirements. Zeam removes that barrier, letting you send, receive, and store money no matter how much — or how little — is in your account. It’s money on your terms.

No Monthly Fees

Traditional banks often chip away at your funds with hidden maintenance charges. Zeam believes your hard-earned money should stay in your pocket, not be eaten away by fees. That’s why we never charge monthly account fees — so you can keep more of what you earn.

Low, Predictable Transfer Fees (Max 1.5%)

With Zeam, you’ll always know what you’re paying, and it’s never more than 1.5%. There are no surprises or fine print. This low-cost structure makes it easier for families to support one another across cities, regions, and borders.

Cash-Out in Minutes Through Local Partners

We know speed matters when you need funds. That’s why Zeam works with trusted local cash-out partners across Africa, allowing recipients to collect their money within minutes.

Bank-Level Security for Every Transaction

Every transaction on Zeam is protected by bank-grade encryption and security protocols, so you can send and receive money without stress. We use advanced fraud detection to safeguard your account, giving you peace of mind with every transfer.
