Cleva is a US-based fintech company with a mission to build the financial infrastructure for Africa's remote and freelance economy. It addresses the challenge African freelancers face in receiving international payments by offering them USD-denominated virtual accounts and accompanying virtual USD Mastercards. This allows users to receive payments from international clients and employers (like Deel and Upwork) and spend globally without the high fees and currency conversion issues typical of traditional banking in the region. Cleva is a financial technology platform and not a bank; its banking services are provided through partnerships with regulated financial institutions.
