About Luo

Luo is building cross-border payment infrastructure for hard-to-reach markets. Based in Dakar, Senegal, it offers businesses a simple way to make fast international payments from emerging markets, letting them pay in euros or US dollars around the world from local currency accounts.

The platform serves African companies, international organisations and financial institutions, which can open an account online and manage payments through a web dashboard. Luo currently lists Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon as supported markets, with payments funded in West and Central African CFA francs.
