What it means for Ivorian and Canadian businesses

Côte d'Ivoire is a live Storspay corridor in both directions: Canadian businesses fund in CAD and pay Ivorian teams and suppliers in CFA francs the same day, and Ivorian businesses can now be paid by Canadian customers into USD account details, with French-language support. Members of either chamber get their first payment fee-free, up to US$5,000 — email info@storsapp.com and mention your chamber.

Storspay now works in both directions: fund in USD, CAD, GBP or EUR, pay 26 corridors — and get paid back

The same account that pays your team in Nairobi or Lagos now collects what your customers there owe you, credits it in USD the same day, and lets you pay a US, UK or European bank or spend on a Storspay Card.
