Juicyway Secures Green Light for Nationwide Expansion, Cleared to Do Business in Nearly All States

The cross-border payments platform secures money transmitter approval across the United States through a regulated partnership, as it builds toward serving Africa-US payment corridors.

n

Juicyway has received regulatory approval to operate as a money transmitter across 48 US states through a regulated partnership structure. The approval gives Juicyway the regulatory basis to participate in the US payments ecosystem and positions the company to serve cross-border flows between Africa and North America — one of the fastest-growing payment corridors in the world.

Money transmission in the United States is governed at the state level. Unlike markets with centralised payment regulation, operating across the US requires separate authorisation in each jurisdiction. Achieving coverage across 48 states represents a significant regulatory undertaking — and the foundation on which any serious cross-border payment infrastructure touching the US must be built.

n

The approval comes as demand for reliable Africa-US payment infrastructure continues to grow. African professionals getting paid by US companies, businesses managing cross-border payroll, and platforms settling funds across continents are all navigating a system that was not designed with their specific needs in mind. Juicyway is building directly for this reality.

“The US is one of the most important origins of global payment flows,” said Ife Johnson, Founder and CEO of Juicyway. “A significant and growing share of those flows involve Africa — talent, services, trade, and capital. Having regulatory approval across 48 states means we are now positioned inside that system, not routing around it. That changes what we can build next.”

Juicyway serves over 2,200 enterprises and 17,000 individuals, having processed more than $4 billion in transaction volume across African currency corridors and beyond. The US approval follows the company’s FCA authorisation in the United Kingdom and PSP registration under Canada’s Retail Payment Activities Act.
