Dahabshiil, an indigenous African company, was founded in 1970. It was set up as a new remittance venture to enable migrants to send money to family and friends back in the countries of East Africa. Dahabshiil has grown to be the largest African money transfer business operating in 126 countries across the world, 40 of which are in Africa. It remains a business committed to its original values of trust, reliability, integrity, and customer-focus.
Many international organizations have recognized the crucial role of remittances, both during humanitarian crises and for development. For example, organizations including the United Nations, World Bank, Oxfam, and others comment regularly on the importance of money transfer services. They describe them as a lifeline for millions of people, especially those living in rural communities where other financial services, such as banks, do not exist. Dahabshill is very strong in rural communities. As well as enabling Africa’s very poorest people to survive, Dahabshiil allows others to invest and create jobs, contributing to growth on the continent.
