Established in 2023, Relax Inc. is an innovative startup dedicated to redefining digital finance. Our flagship product, RelaxPay, sits at the heart of our mission to simplify access to electronic payments. As a next-generation payment solution, RelaxPay is specifically designed for the African market, delivering an experience that is fast, highly secure, and truly inclusive.
Our journey started on an ordinary evening. After a long day at work, our founder stopped by the supermarket for groceries. At the checkout, with a long line forming behind him, he realized he had no cash. He reached for his phone to pay via mobile money—only to find his battery completely dead. Forced to step out of line and abandon his cart, he experienced a frustrating moment of silent shame.
Millions of Africans face this exact scenario every day. Not because they lack funds, but because the existing systems weren’t built for their reality. RelaxPay was born from that very moment.
We recognized that in our environment:
RelaxPay provides a simple, inclusive, and immediate answer: A bracelet, an app, and a single gesture.
Ensuring accessible, instant and unconstrained payment for everyone in Africa and beyond. We design simple and inclusive solutions that offer the possibility for everyone to pay, without requiring a bank account, without using a smartphone (client side) or an internet connection.
At a time when every transaction is an opportunity for inclusion, Relax Inc. commits to participate in the construction of a future where no one is excluded from the payment system and to make our technologies more intuitive thanks to artificial intelligence. Beyond our current products, our long-term vision is to become a driving force in Africa's digital transformation. We envision an organization that unites the brightest minds, pushes the boundaries of research and development, and builds a truly accessible, human-centric financial ecosystem.
Built on purpose, our values are not words on a wall. They are operational commitments lived through each interaction with Relax Inc..
Each feature is designed with those that traditional payment systems have ignored in mind. As a company, we are driven by the conviction that financial accessibility is a universal right. We foster a culture of empathy within our teams, ensuring that our corporate vision always aligns with the diverse realities of the African continent. We measure our success not just by our growth, but by the number of people we empower to join the digital economy.
If it requires an explanation, it’s already too complicated. So, we redesign it. This philosophy governs how we operate internally at Relax Inc. From our engineering labs to our management meetings, we challenge our employees to constantly strip away the unnecessary. We cultivate an environment where complex challenges are met with elegant, streamlined thinking, ensuring our entire organization remains agile and focused.
Every transaction must be secure, fast and error-free. This is the absolute foundation of our corporate integrity. We hold ourselves to the highest global standards of operational excellence and strict compliance. At every level of our company, we share a zero-compromise mindset regarding system resilience and data protection, because we know that building a trustworthy institution is our greatest responsibility.
We innovate to solve real problems. At Relax Inc., we steer clear of pursuing ‘tech for tech’s sake.’ Our research and development efforts are deeply rooted in grassroots observation and pragmatic engineering. We are building a workforce of dedicated problem-solvers who want to deliver tangible societal value, ensuring that every strategic decision we make truly improves the socio-economic landscape.
At Relax Inc., our current focus is channeled entirely into our flagship innovation: RelaxPay. More than just a financial tool, it is a complete ecosystem designed to make financial and social inclusion a reality for everyone. We have built an experience that is fundamentally cashless, highly ergonomic, and—crucially—deviceless at the point of sale. Whether you are deeply integrated into the banking system or stepping into digital finance for the first time, RelaxPay adapts to your reality, not the other way around.
The RelaxPay ecosystem is powered by an intuitive mobile app that puts you in full control of your finances through four core features:
To pay, either approach the payment terminal with your bracelet or have the merchant scan the QR code on your bracelet. Say goodbye to digging for exact change or waiting for slow network confirmations. With a simple tap, you can settle bills instantly at any partnered merchant. It is a frictionless experience designed to respect your time and keep your day moving.
Instant Send and Receive: Allows you to send and receive money immediately, without needing the RIB. Supporting loved ones, sending allowances, or splitting a restaurant bill should never be a chore. Our platform allows you to send and receive funds across the network in seconds, bridging distances and keeping communities connected.
Need cash instantly? Discover how your phone is now your ATM. While we champion a cashless future, we understand the practical realities of our environment. When you truly need physical money, RelaxPay makes cashing out quick, secure, and hassle-free at any of our authorized agent points.
Boost your balance and pay anything in seconds, directly from your wallet. We have made funding your RelaxPay account incredibly simple. Whether you are transferring from a mobile money wallet or depositing cash through an agent, topping up is a smooth process designed to keep you ready for whatever comes next.
