    Kazza is making it seamless for Africans to spend cryptocurrency on everyday needs, from airtime and groceries and utilities. While millions across the continent hold crypto to hedge against inflation or facilitate cross-border payments, spending it on daily transactions has remained complex.

    Currently, users face a cumbersome multistep process: convert crypto through informal P2P channels or exchanges, often dealing with trust issues and scam risks, then withdraw to their bank account, before waiting for settlement. Only then can they finally spend. This friction meant crypto remained largely dormant; held as an asset but rarely used for everyday life. Kazza eliminates this. Users can now convert stablecoins directly into their local currency in their bank accounts with instant payouts, or skip the middleman altogether and spend crypto directly on essential services. No swapping, no waiting, no unnecessary steps

    Abi Adebayo, Chief Product Officer at Kazza, said, “We’re making stablecoins truly spendable, enabling users to handle everyday payments instantly, and giving merchants a seamless way to accept them without touching crypto or dealing with volatility. Our goal is a universal payment experience where crypto works quietly in the background, powering real life across the world.”

    Founded in 2025, Kazza was built to close the gap between crypto wallets and real-world financial needs. Traditional crypto platforms focus on trading and speculation, but Kazza positions itself differently: it’s about utility, not speculation. By stripping away complex technical interfaces that intimidate non-tech-savvy users, Kazza makes crypto accessible for everyday transactions.

    Beyond personal spending: Payments for freelancers and SMEs

    Kazza also enables users to generate customisable payment links to send and receive crypto payments; a critical feature for freelancers, creators, and businesses receiving cross-border payments and small businesses who pay international suppliers. This removes the friction of traditional banking rails and expensive remittance fees.

    What sets Kazza apart from other apps?

    Unlike crypto trading platforms or exchanges that focus on speculation, Kazza is designed for utility:

    1. 24/7 customer service support: Kazza provides 24/7 customer support via email: support@mykazza.com, and other channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.
    2. Instant spending: Pay for airtime, data, flight tickets, utility bills, and gift cards directly from your crypto wallet.
    3. Instant settlement: Transactions are settled in seconds to minutes, not hours or days.
    4. Merchant APIs: Businesses can integrate Kazza’s API into their websites or apps to accept stablecoins and receive instant Naira payouts without any crypto volatility risk.
    5. Borderless by design: Users can send money globally without traditional banking friction.


    The road ahead for Kazza

    While Kazza currently supports payouts and utilities in Naira for the Nigerian market, the company has ambitious plans for geographic expansion. The vision extends far beyond as the company plans to roll out multi-currency support across Africa (Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa), followed by expansion into Asian and US markets

    “We’re starting in Nigeria because it’s one of Africa’s largest crypto markets, but our vision is global,” said Abi. ‘Crypto is borderless by nature. Our infrastructure should be too.’

    Kazza already offers innovative features to streamline payments: an AI-powered “Capture to Pay” system that lets users simply scan bank account details with their camera instead of manually typing them out; the AI intelligently reads and processes the information for instant authorisation. The app also provides customisable payment links enabling freelancers, creators, and businesses to receive crypto payments instantly. 

    Looking ahead, the company is building additional infrastructure, including developer plugins for e-commerce platforms and many more payment rails for brick-and-mortar merchants. Together, these tools create a comprehensive crypto payment ecosystem that works across borders, reducing remittance costs, boosting intra-African trade, and making cross-border commerce as simple as a local transaction

    For the millions of people holding crypto but struggling to spend it, Kazza represents a paradigm shift: your digital assets are no longer just investments—they’re money you can actually use. And that changes everything.
