At Cleva, we’re on a mission to make cross-border payments and digital banking as seamless as possible for freelancers, remote workers, creators, and entrepreneurs across Africa. 

Today, we’re excited to announce a major update! Deposits of stablecoins (USDT & USDC) into your Cleva account are now completely FREE!

This change means you can move money faster, reduce costs, and enjoy all the benefits that come with using Cleva, from saving in USD to spending globally.

Why stablecoins matter

Stablecoins like USDT and USDC have become essential for people working online. They’re fast, secure, and always pegged to the U.S. dollar, making them perfect for:

  • Freelancers getting paid by clients abroad
  • Entrepreneurs managing international transactions
  • Remote workers receiving salaries in dollars
  • Creators earning from platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok

But here’s the challenge: on many platforms, depositing stablecoins comes with hidden fees and delays. At Cleva, we believe your hard-earned money shouldn’t be eaten up by unnecessary charges.

What this means for you
With FREE stablecoin deposits on Cleva, you get to:

  • Save in USD – Secure your earnings in a stable currency.
  • Convert instantly – Exchange to NGN, GHS, or UGX at great rates whenever you need it.
  • Spend globally – Use your Cleva virtual card for payments anywhere in the world.
  • Move money faster – Skip the delays and hidden costs.

This update is all about making sure your money works harder for you, not the other way around.

  • Transparent pricing (see our pricing page)
