Global payment app, Sentz, left a strong impression at the recent TrustWallet event held at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), alongside other brands, to discuss the future of Web3 and cross-border payments. The event which was held at the T.I Francis auditorium in FUTA, saw an influx of eager students willing to learn from industry professionals about the world of crypto and the intricacies of cross- border payments.
Representing Sentz, PR Manager, Ogheneruno Etowe stood in for the Country Manager, Mercy Emmanuel, engaging students in discussions about the challenges many face with cross-border payments and how Sentz simplifies the payment process. The conversations also addressed key aspects of cryptocurrency adoption and the benefits of leveraging innovative financial solutions.
During the event, there was a live demonstration of how fast and reliable payments could be in real time. As the demonstration progressed a randomly selected student from the audience was ecstatic to receive $10 from New York in just under five seconds, right in front of an amazed crowd, using the Sentz app.The immediate reaction of the student and the awe of the crowd highlighted the ease, speed, and reliability of Sentz for cross-border payments.
Speaking about Sentz’s solution, Mercy Emmanuel, Country Manager of Sentz, said,
“Sentz is built to solve real problems freelancers and remote workers face every day. We’re making it easy for users to get paid, no matter where their clients are, without the difficulty of complex currency conversions. With Sentz, we’re reducing the time it takes to receive payments, so freelancers in Nigeria and across Africa can focus more on their work and less on waiting for payments to clear.”
In addition to showcasing Sentz’s fast and seamless payment platform, the company launched a call for campus ambassadors, inviting enthusiastic students to be part of the growing Sentz movement. As ambassadors, students will have the opportunity to represent Sentz on their campuses, spread the word about the brand, and participate in exclusive giveaways and events.
Emmanuel also emphasized Sentz’s commitment to empowering the next generation of digital innovators, noting, “We’re not just here to introduce a product. We want students to be part of this journey with us. Our campus ambassador program will provide young people with valuable experience in the fintech and decentralized finance space while representing a brand that’s pushing boundaries in global payments.”
The presentation also dove deep into how Sentz is positioning itself as more than just a digital wallet. Sentz’s offering addresses key pain points in cross-border payments, currency exchange, and the growing need for decentralized financial systems. With the rise of freelancers and gig workers, particularly in Africa, Sentz has carved a niche by offering a platform that not only facilitates faster payments but also provides security and transparency through blockchain technology.
The event was a resounding success, with students engaging actively, asking questions, and showing enthusiasm for how Sentz could benefit them now and in the future. Attendees left not only with new knowledge but also Sentz-branded merchandise, making the event both educational and fun.
