Geegpay by Raenest July Roundup

Hello again, Bella here.

There’s a certain kind of person who doesn’t wait to feel ready. They start with what they know, figure things out along the way, and keep going even when the path isn’t clear. They’re not chasing shortcuts. They’re building something real. From scratch. With intention.

You see it in how they pitch ideas that don’t always land. In the late nights spent learning new skills. In the decision to keep showing up for work that demands more than it guarantees. Driven by grit, resilience and clarity. A steady belief that says, this is the kind of life I want, and I’m willing to build it.

This month was about creating room for that kind of person. The kind of person who is not waiting for permission to grow.The kind of person we’ve always built for. Here’s what we were up to for the month of July.

Bold careers are not built alone. They are shaped by access to tools, services, and systems that help you stay consistent and keep moving. That is why we introduced Raenest Perks, a growing collection of benefits designed for freelancers, remote workers, entrepreneurs, and professionals working across borders.

From logistics and healthcare to hosting, relocation support, and learning platforms, these offers are made to support the way you live and work. They are available to both individuals and businesses, and they reflect the practical needs of people building real careers with real constraints.

To use any of the perks, log in to your Geegpay account on the web. Go to the Perks section, browse through the available offers, and click to redeem. You need to be logged in via web, as the perks are exclusive to Geegpay users and not available to the public. If you’ve checked it out, you’re welcome 😉. We’d also like to know what perks you’d like to see next. Click here to share your thoughts.

Global work often comes with global responsibilities. Whether you are supporting family, paying school fees in the UK, handling international business, or managing travel costs, the ability to move money across borders matters.

This month, we expanded Geegpay’s transfer coverage to include even more destinations across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. You can now send money to every country in Europe, along with the UK, the US, China, Brazil, India, Egypt, the Philippines, Pakistan, Rwanda, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda, Tanzania, and the Central African Republic. It is a simple way to stay connected, manage your commitments, and keep things moving no matter where life or work takes you.

We also made deposits cheaper. From now on, no matter how much you’re paid, be it $500 or $500,000, you’ll never pay more than $12 in fees. Whether it’s USD, GBP, or EUR, your deposit fee is now capped at $12, £12 and €12, respectively. And it gets better. SWIFT deposits now start from just $7, the cheapest you’ll find anywhere, making high-value payments faster, smoother, and more affordable than ever. It’s everything you’ve been waiting for. Less stress. More money in your pocket. No surprises when your payment lands.

Like we shared last roundup, we increased card limits across the board to give you more space to spend freely. From school fees to travel bookings to subscriptions like Apple, Spotify, and Meta, your Geegpay card is ready for it all. Depending on your KYC level, you can now spend up to $20,000 daily and $60,000 monthly. Just fund your card and go. If you haven’t tried it, click here to do so.

Still on giving you more. Have you used your discount yet? Remember, when you pay for airtime or internet through Geegpay, you get up to 5% off automatically. No extra steps. Just tap Pay Bills on your app, pick the airtime or data you want to buy, and pay. Your discount will be applied before you complete the transaction. If you haven’t tried it, you should.

In July's episode of Geegpay Diaries, we sat down with Favour Yusuf, a B2B SaaS Product Marketer and Strategist who has helped over 10 early-stage startups across Europe, America, and Asia grow from the ground up. If you're tired of low-paying gigs or struggling to get consistent work on Upwork, this is for you. You'll get six proven strategies that can help you attract better clients, set higher rates, and build a system for consistent earnings on the platform. Read the full session here.

This month, we turned the spotlight on non-technical talents who are thriving on Upwork. Think writers, designers, project managers, and strategists who are building full careers without ever touching a line of code.

In our latest webinar, they shared the practical strategies that help them stand out, optimise their profiles, and consistently land high-paying clients. If you're navigating Upwork as a non-tech freelancer, this is the kind of insight that helps you skip the guesswork and focus on what actually works.

To make it even more exciting, we teamed up with the speakers for a special giveaway. 20 listeners walked away with 250 Upwork Connects each, funded straight to their Geegpay virtual dollar cards. Congratulations again to the winners. And if you missed the session, the replay is still up. It’s a great place to start if you’re ready to grow with more clarity and less trial and error.

Still on giveaways, we also gave out merches in collaboration with NTBTS. If you missed that, too, sorry. Although you can follow us on X @geegpay_hq, Instagram @geegpayhq, LinkedIn @Geegpay by Raenest, and TikTok @geegpayhq, so you stay updated on all of our activities. 

A little birdie told us many of you are planning to study in the UK. If that’s you, we’ve got something that can help.

In case you missed it or know someone who might need it, we put together a simple guide to walk you through the entire process. From choosing the right school to securing your accommodation and paying your fees through platforms like Flywire, it covers everything you need to get started with confidence. Click here to read the full guide and take your next step.

‍All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Whether you are powering through deadlines or taking a well-deserved break, here are a few recommendations I enjoyed this month to help you relax and recharge. You can use your Geegpay card to pay for your subscriptions across Spotify, Apple, Prime, and more.

And that’s our roundup for July. Wherever you are right now—figuring out your next step, building something new, or simply taking things one day at a time—we hope something in this round-up made things feel a little lighter. Catch you in the next one.
