Why We Built TeleSend: Making It Easier to Support Loved Ones Back Home
Why TeleSend was built and how we’re making it easier to support loved ones in Ethiopia through reliable digital services.
Supporting family and friends back home should be simple.
For many people living abroad, sending airtime, mobile data, or digital value to loved ones in Ethiopia is a regular part of life. Yet the experience is often frustrating — unreliable delivery, unclear pricing, and limited options.
TeleSend was built to solve these problems.
The Problem We Saw
Over the years, we noticed the same challenges repeating again and again:
- Delays in airtime delivery
- Limited payment options for people abroad
- Lack of transparency on exchange rates and fees
- Poor user experience across platforms
These issues create unnecessary stress for people who simply want to stay connected and provide support.
Our Approach
TeleSend focuses on doing a few things extremely well:
- Instant delivery of airtime and data
- Clear, upfront pricing
- Secure payments
- Direct integration with trusted partners
No complicated steps. No guessing whether a transaction worked.
More Than a Product
TeleSend is not just a transaction platform. It’s about:
- Keeping families connected
- Reducing friction in cross-border support
- Building trust through reliability and transparency
Why This Blog
Through this blog, we’ll share:
- Insights on cross-border payments
- Updates on digital airtime and gift cards
- Stories from the diaspora and local digital economy
Our goal is to provide useful, honest insights — not marketing noise.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
