About Union54

ChitChat by Union54 is an integrated messaging and payments platform designed specifically for Africa's unique needs.

Our app combines secure instant messaging with USD card capabilities and cross-border payments, making international money movement more accessible and affordable.

We're tackling one of Africa's biggest financial challenges: the high cost of sending money across borders, where African senders often pay double the fees despite sending smaller amounts.

As a Y Combinator-backed startup, we're building technology that empowers African consumers and businesses to participate more fully in the global digital economy.

Our mission is to create financial products that genuinely serve customer needs while challenging the status quo of traditional remittance providers.
