Building Africa's most secure payment platform
We're building the future of cross-border payments by combining the best of traditional finance and cryptocurrency making financial freedom accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Our Journey
Our Story
Tirra was born from a simple frustration: why is sending money across borders so complicated and expensive? Originally launched as Azawire in 2023, our founders, experienced fintech entrepreneurs and blockchain engineers, built the foundation for what would become Tirra, a complete reimagining of cross-border payments.
The evolution from Azawire to Tirra represents our commitment to continuous innovation. We saw an opportunity to bridge traditional finance and cryptocurrency, creating a platform that offers the best of both worlds. Fast, affordable international transfers powered by blockchain technology, with the simplicity and trust people expect from their financial services.
Today, Tirra serves thousands of users worldwide, processing millions in cross-border transactions every month. But we're just getting started on our mission to make financial freedom accessible to everyone, everywhere.
