# Azza

> Turn your chats into cashouts

Azza is a crypto payments platform that operates a WhatsApp-based wallet for buying, selling, and sending digital assets. It targets users across Africa seeking simple mobile money conversion and cross-border transfers.

Azza is a crypto payments platform that provides a WhatsApp-based wallet allowing individuals to buy, sell, send, and spend digital assets using conversational AI. Users interact with an AI agent directly inside a messaging app rather than a standalone application, converting crypto to local currency and withdrawing to a bank account or mobile money in seconds. The service is aimed at users, particularly across African markets, who want a simple way to access digital assets without navigating wallets, gas fees, or complex onboarding steps.

The platform addresses the barriers that have limited crypto adoption in the region by embedding wallet functionality into a messaging app already used widely for daily communication. Rather than requiring a wallet address, transfers can be made using a phone number or contact name, and balances can be tracked without leaving the chat interface. Users can also swap between assets and bridge funds across multiple blockchains from within the same conversation.

Core functionality centers on buying and selling stablecoins and other supported cryptocurrencies at local exchange rates, alongside cross-border payment transfers and everyday spending using stablecoins as a substitute for local currency. Small businesses and freelancers use the platform to accept stablecoin payments and convert them to local currency for paying vendors. It is used by individual consumers, freelancers, and small businesses seeking accessible on and off ramp services for digital assets and cross-border money movement.
