We're building the stablecoin payment layer for Africa and the Middle East, making it easy for anyone anywhere to send, receive, and convert money using stablecoins.
To make it easy for anyone—anywhere—to send, receive, and convert money using stablecoins, regardless of their local banking system.
A world where everyone has the freedom to make, move, and multiply their wealth on their own terms — no matter where they live or what their local currency is worth.
From Juba to the world
Sarafa was founded in Juba, South Sudan in 2023, by a team of fintech builders who understand the realities of high-inflation, high-friction economies.
We saw firsthand how difficult it was for families, freelancers, and businesses to access reliable money. In markets plagued by currency devaluation, banking limitations, and delays, we saw an opportunity to build something better.
So we set out to build a platform that puts dollar-based financial infrastructure in the hands of real people—using the power of stablecoins.
Building trust and impact across frontier markets
Trusted by NGOs, traders, freelancers, and fintechs across our markets
The Sarafa team combines deep expertise in fintech, stablecoins, compliance and regulation and frontier market operations.
We call ourselves Saranauts — navigating complexity to build clarity and freedom into money.
Together, we're building Sarafa into the stablecoin payment layer for Africa and the Middle East.
We're currently active in these countries below and looking to expand
Our goals are ambitious — and necessary
Expand into 10+ African and MENA markets, bringing stablecoin access to more underserved communities.
Power real-time business treasury and payroll in USD, enabling seamless cross-border operations.
At Sarafa, we believe stablecoins are not just a technology, they're a tool for economic dignity. We're here to build the rails for a freer, fairer financial future.
