If you’ve ever received a hesitant late-night message, the kind that starts with “I don’t mean to bother you…” you already know what comes next.

A pause.
A request.
A small emergency.

Maybe it’s for transport fare. Or rent. Or something as simple as food money to carry them through the week.

The truth is, these requests aren’t coming from people trying to take advantage of you. They're coming from people who trust you, because you've always shown up. You want to help. You always do.

But here’s what no one talks about:
Supporting loved ones, especially across countries, time zones and income brackets, can be emotionally draining and financially unpredictable.

You care deeply. But sometimes, life makes it hard to provide that care consistently, confidently, and without pressure.

Too often, giving happens only when something breaks down. When someone is too desperate to wait. When pride gives way to need.

But what if you could give before they ask?
What if you could support without scrambling?
What if helping others didn’t come at the cost of your own peace?

Pesa isn’t just a money transfer app; it’s a tool for sustainable giving. A simple, thoughtful way to support the people who matter most to you, on your own terms.

Pesa was designed for people like you:

  • Providers who send money back home

  • Givers who don’t want fanfare, just impact

  • Quiet supporters who believe in showing love through action

Make transfers whether (weekly, or monthly), so no one has to send that awkward message.

Create an emergency support fund so you're ready when life throws a curveball.

Track every naira or dollar you send with total transparency and peace of mind.

Send with dignity, not explanation. Your recipient gets notified instantly, no extra calls or follow-up needed.

Give with Intention, Not Pressure.

Picture this:

A ₦10,000 transfer landing in your mum’s account every Friday at 8 a.m. without fail.
A monthly stipend to your uncle, the one who supported your education, delivered without reminders.
Emergency support that doesn’t send you scrambling, because it’s already been planned for.

This is the kind of giving that Pesa makes possible.
It’s not only convenient, it’s transformational.

Let’s Redefine What It Means to Support One Another

In a world full of financial pressure, inconsistent systems, and emotional burnout, Pesa brings structure to your care.

You don’t have to wait for a request to give.
You don’t have to stress about how, when, or how much.
You don’t have to feel guilty for needing a system that works for you, too.

With Pesa, giving becomes:

Planned, Effortless, Sustainable

Let your care be consistent.
Let your giving reflect your values not just the urgency of the moment.

Make your first transfer today by downloading with Pesa, and get a referral bonus on your first transfer when you use the code “moneygirl.

Give differently. Give intentionally. Give with peace of mind.
