Flutterwave has announced the launch of its financial operations across 34 states in the United States, offering simpler, faster, and more convenient services for customers.
In a post shared Friday via his X account, Flutterwave Founder and CEO, Olugbenga Agboola, revealed that the company has secured 20 additional Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs), with more expected soon.
