# Flincap > Send and receive business payments across Africa using stablecoins Flincap is a stablecoin payments company for African markets. It helps businesses send, receive, and settle cross-border payments using stablecoins. Flincap is a stablecoin payments company that helps businesses move money into and out of African markets. It provides payouts, collections, an over-the-counter desk for large conversions, and a wallets API, allowing companies to hold value in stablecoins while paying out or collecting in local African currencies. Its offering is aimed at fintechs, large enterprises, marketplaces, and remittance operators that need cross-border settlement without relying on correspondent banking. The company addresses the friction businesses face when moving funds between African currencies and international markets, where local banking bureaucracy and currency conversion can slow settlement. Flincap routes stablecoin liquidity to local payout rails, letting a business fund disbursements from a single stablecoin balance while beneficiaries receive funds in their local currency through bank transfers or mobile money. The same infrastructure supports collections, letting businesses receive local payments that are converted into stablecoin value. Its product set spans local payouts across multiple African countries, currency collections, an OTC desk for treasury-scale conversions, and a stablecoin API for developers integrating payment flows directly into their own applications. It is used by fintech companies building payment features, multinationals managing treasury and FX exposure, gig and marketplace platforms paying distributed workers, and money transfer operators seeking faster cross-border settlement. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-01-16 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/flincap ## Products - [Flincap Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/flincap): Flincap Platform is a payments infrastructure and orchestration service that lets businesses send and receive stablecoin-based payments across African markets.
