Grey has added local currency deposits in Kenya and Ghana . Users can now fund their Grey account in Kenyan Shillings (KES) and Ghanaian Cedis (GHS) via bank transfer and mobile money.
The new feature is designed to eliminate one of the biggest pain points for users who rely on Grey for international payments. Previously, many users had to depend on multiple platforms or intermediaries before accessing Grey’s international payment capabilities.
“Cross-border payments should not begin with friction,” said Idorenyin Obong, CEO and Co-founder of Grey.
“Many users in Ghana and Kenya already rely on Grey to receive, hold, and move money globally, but funding their accounts often requires additional steps outside our platform. With local currency deposits, we are removing that barrier and giving users a simpler way to move between their local financial systems and the global economy.”
Grey says the introduction of local currency deposits is part of its broader strategy to build financial infrastructure for globally connected individuals and businesses in emerging markets.
The company is increasingly focusing on providing an end-to-end experience that allows customers not only to receive international payments but also to manage funds seamlessly across borders from a single platform.
