Leaf currently operates in Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya!
Free Deposit and Money Transfer
Send and receive money for free. Yes, free! There are no fees to deposit money into your Leaf Wallet and there are no fees for Leaf-to-Leaf transactions. This means that you can send money to your friends on Leaf without paying anything—even in other countries. Deposit and transfer funds within your Leaf Wallet, knowing you’re getting the best deal with no hidden fees.
Seamless Transactions with Mobile Money
Bye banks. Simply pull money from your mobile money account (or request from someone else’s!) and immediately see it deposited into your Leaf Wallet. Travel wherever you intend to go and then when it’s time to withdraw, you can send money to any mobile money account, no matter the service provider, in a matter of seconds.
Send and Receive Money Across Borders
Leaf works with all major mobile money providers in the countries where we’ve launched. That means that you can send and receive money across borders. Live in Rwanda but have family in Kenya? With Leaf, you can easily send money in one currency and have friends and family receive money in another currency. Amazing, right?
Compatible with Every Device
We all get it, smartphones are great. But a lot of people (probably some of your friends and family) don’t have them, so we made an app that works on both smartphones and basic phones through USSD. You can finally send money to your friends and family, regardless of where they live or what type of phone they have. Plus, even if you have a smartphone, using our USSD application will save you data!
Currency Exchange without the Massive Fees
Forget waiting in line to deposit, withdraw, and exchange physical cash only to see your money disappear with hidden fees. You can send, receive, and even store money in any of the currencies Leaf offers, virtually. That means you can hold up to three different currencies at once! When it's time, you can select any of our currencies to withdraw into your mobile money account. You’ll be amazed by Leaf’s low currency exchange rates. We promise.
Safe and Secure Money Storage
With Leaf, you can leave your cash and your worries behind—even across borders. Whether you’re moving between countries, going out of town, or staying in, you can confidently live cashless. With the secure Leaf Wallet, you can safely store your funds virtually until you decide to withdraw. Leaf’s advanced identification system ensures that no one will be able to access your Leaf Wallet, except for you.
