How Zahia Made Crypto Off-Ramping Instant on WhatsApp With Breet

  • Industry

    Fintech.

  • Markets

    Nigeria.

  • Integration Time

    2 days — development on day one, production on day two.

  • Use Case

    Sending, receiving, and off-ramping crypto to fiat directly on WhatsApp.

Background

Zahia, co-founded by Daniel Dunu, makes it easy for users to send and receive money on WhatsApp by understanding natural language across text, audio, and images. Users can also off-ramp crypto from their wallets, with or without WhatsApp, within minutes.

The Challenge

Supporting money movement through a chatbot and messaging app meant Zahia also had to support the growing ways users wanted to access their money, including crypto. To meet that demand, they needed reliable infrastructure to power it.

Why Breet?

“I've worked with many providers across fintech, and Breet is the easiest by comparison,” Dunu said. Support was fast, and compliance feedback came back the next day.

Integration

“We went live in two days: development on day one, production on day two,” Dunu said, a timeline he credited to his own schedule rather than any friction on Breet's side. He called the documentation “very, very smooth” and the developers “top-notch.”

Results

Customers now had the full range of ways they wanted to move money on WhatsApp, including crypto. They could easily off-ramp to fiat directly within the same conversation they already used to send and receive money, with no separate app or platform required, closing the gap Zahia set out to solve.

“I have worked with a lot of providers in fintech, and Breet has been the easiest by some distance. I submitted for compliance and had feedback the next day. The documentation is very, very smooth. I tested on development on day one and production on day two, and that was it. I do not know what they did, but their developers are top-notch. It is the best I have worked with so far.”
