Geegpay by Raenest Monthly Roundup: May 2025

Last week, Chelsea went into the Conference League final one goal down at halftime. It looked rough. But by the end of the match, they had flipped it to 4–1. That kind of comeback does not just happen. You make the right changes. You prepare better. You play smarter.

That is exactly how we approached May at Geegpay. Not just another month, but halftime. A moment to pause, adjust, and build tools that help you win the rest of the year. Because whatever the case, you do not want to be trophyless by December. Unlike some people. So, if you missed any updates from us and all the tools you need to gear up, here's a quick roundup of what happened at Geegpay in May.

Studying abroad comes with many questions. How do you apply for a UK visa? How much should you really budget? How do you manage your money once you’re there?

This month, we pulled together answers to help anyone planning to study in the UK feel more prepared and confident. Want to know everything there is to know about schooling in the UK? Read our guide to studying in the UK.

Still on helping you bring that study abroad plan to life, we caught up with Jennifer, a Nigerian studying in the UK, who shared what it is really like and what she wishes she had known earlier. From accommodation to money tips and dealing with culture shock, she broke it down in a way only someone who has lived it can. Read her diary session here.

We also hosted a live session for content creators ready to turn their audience into real income. In Turning Likes to Credit Alerts: How to Make Your Next $5K From Content Creation, we broke down how to pitch brands, charge more for your work, and build a content business that actually pays you. It was honest, practical, and packed with tips you can use right away. Missed it?  The replay is still available here.

Paying bills doesn’t have to feel like a task. With Geegpay, it’s fast, simple, and done in the time it takes to check your messages.

Buying airtime? A few taps and you’re good. Need data? That’s sorted too. Electricity getting low? You’ll be back online before your screen dims. Even your cable subscription can be renewed without switching apps. Everything you need, all in one place, and ready when you are. If you haven’t used it in a while, this is your reminder to tap back in.

For generations, Africa has been excluded from conversations that shaped the world. Decisions were made without us in the room. Stories were told without our voices. Greatness was defined without our names in the running. But that’s changing, and we're the ones changing it. That’s why, this Africa Day, we asked, 'Why not you?'

Why can’t the next Grammy winner be you? Why can’t the next global startup have its roots in your hometown? Why can’t the next bold solution to a world problem carry your signature?

You don’t have to wait for permission. You don’t have to wait for perfect conditions. Africa is being built every day by people who choose to show up, speak up, and build boldly. People like you. Choose to be part of this moment. Choose to be among the Africans shaping Africa’s future. Choose to build today.

Everything we shared this month, from blogs to webinars and product updates, was shaped by what you’ve told us matters most. We’re here to keep building tools that make life simpler, creating content that supports your goals, and growing a community where you can keep learning and thriving. To say thank you for being with us, we have been giving out merch boxes, and you could be next. All you have to do is continue using Geegpay. 

To round up our May gist, here are some of the gems Bella discovered this month, all of which you can use your Geegpay card to access, be it on Prime, Netflix, Apple or Spotify.

And that's our May. Until we meet again, stay creating, stay borderless and stay using Geegpay.
