Welcome to Bloome, the best-loved app for international money transfers offering free, fast, and fantastic currency exchange rates while putting more money in your pocket.

A short story...

It all started as a seed planted by three friends, Taiwo, Isaac, and Ayodeji. Like many others, we left home chasing dreams in Canada and the UK. But sending money home felt like a punishment, with high fees, slow transfers, and poor customer service, making it harder than it should be.

 

We lived this struggle, so we created Bloome to end it. We know what it means to leave everything behind to build a better life, not just for yourself, but for the ones you love. The late-night calls to mom. The texts about school fees. The guilt of missing milestones while working to secure a future. We see you. You’re the real MVPs.

 

Bloome is built for you. To make sure your hard-earned money moves fast, fee-free, and reliably, so your family gets what they need when they need it. This isn’t just about money. It’s about freedom. Freedom to care for loved ones, Freedom to build dreams across borders, Freedom to uplift others. At Bloome, we don’t just move money, we move love, we move hope. We move Africa forward. This is your story, this is our story, Together, we Bloome.
