Pesa’s 6 Oct company blog (backed by TechCabal) says Pesapeer Pty Ltd launched an Australia remittance corridor as an AUSTRAC Independent Remittance Dealer (IND100859468-001): customers fund in AUD in Australia and Nigeria payouts come from pre-held local liquidity; the company says it takes no transfer fee and earns on the FX spread. Soft hold: TechCabal reports dual-direction AU↔NG, but Pesa’s FAQ frames the launch corridor as AUD→NGN only; partners unnamed; no volume or user counts. Frame as corridor launch under AUSTRAC, not proven corridor scale.
