The Pretium Finance app is a payment platform that enables users in Africa to conduct everyday transactions using stablecoins. With this app, you can pay for groceries, dine at restaurants, refuel your vehicle, and settle utility bills directly with stablecoins, eliminating the need for conversion to local currencies. The app is currently available in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, and Malawi. It offers features such as instant merchant payments, seamless bill settlements, competitive rates with low fees, secure transactions, fast withdrawals, and 24/7 customer support.

Send Money – Easily transfer funds to mobile networks or bank accounts.

Cross-Border Payments – Instantly send money across borders to friends and family.

Savings and Hedge Against Inflation – Store funds in digital assets to protect against inflation while retaining the ability to spend seamlessly.

Pretium, as a digital asset management (DAM) app or platform, typically plays a significant role in managing, organizing, and optimizing digital assets within various industries. Its primary function would be to provide tools and solutions that streamline the storage, retrieval, and utilization of digital assets such as documents, images and videos.

Pretium is designed to serve crypto holders and traders who want to hedge against inflation while ensuring easy access to their funds for daily purchases. The app is currently live in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, and Malawi, with plans for further expansion.

In Kenya alone, over 6 million people hold cryptocurrencies, but converting these digital assets into local currencies often requires navigating P2P exchanges. Pretium eliminates this friction, allowing users to make direct payments using digital assets without additional steps.

Backed by Verda Ventures and others, Pretium facilitates payments at merchant points, bills and utility settlements and cross-border payments using crypto assets while processing payments for merchants, service providers or enablers in local currencies.
