We are excited to announce the launch of Gblobal Accounts on LemFi, a financial solution designed for Africa’s thriving freelance and digital economy. With Global Accounts, African professionals can now compete and thrive in the Global market.
What Is LemFi Global Accounts?
LemFi Global Account is a product that allows customers to open and operate real USD- and GBP-domiciled accounts in your name and receive international payments directly in your LemFi app, with no delays, no complications or workarounds.
How LemFi Global Accounts Work:
- Open foreign accounts easily: Open USD and GBP accounts in minutes through the LemFi app.
- Get paid like a local: Each account comes with “local account details, allowing you to receive payments directly from international clients and platforms as if you were physically present in those countries.
- Rates you can trust: Your held funds can be topped up and converted at competitive rates with full transparency.
- Full control of your money: You maintain complete control, whether withdrawing to local accounts, spending globally, or holding funds in foreign currency.
A Better Reality With LemFi Global Accounts
Africa’s freelance market is booming. With a vibrant, tech-savvy population and expertise spanning software development, digital marketing, and creative skills, the continent’s professionals are competing and contributing on a global scale. However, a critical barrier has held them back: receiving international payments is often costly, complicated, and unreliable. Payment delays, sudden account freezes, and limited platform options have forced digital workers across the continent to navigate a maze of workarounds—from asking friends abroad for help to using multiple intermediaries that eat into their hard-earned income.
LemFi’s Global Accounts changes this reality.
As our Co-Founder and CEO, Ridwan Olalere, explains: "With Global Accounts, we're giving them what they've always deserved: direct access to the global financial system, no more asking friends abroad for help, no more feeling left out of global moments. Global Accounts gives you a financial identity that is as global as your ambitions.”
Built for Africa’s Digital Workforce
Global Accounts was designed for African professionals who want to operate in the currencies of global commerce while remaining firmly rooted in their home country.
“This is about dignity and agency,” Olalere added. “African Professionals shouldn’t have to deal with or apologise for payment complications. With Global Accounts, they can focus on their craft rather than payment logistics.”

Freelancers and digital entrepreneurs can now:
- Get paid directly by international clients into their USD or GBP accounts.
