March was a big one for us at Geegpay; we turned 3! It’s crazy to think about how far we’ve come, from helping Africans get paid to building a thriving global community. We’ve grown so much, and this month, we celebrated not just how far we’ve come but also the incredible community that has grown with us.
But beyond the celebrations (yes, there was cake), March was a month of big moves. We rolled out new features, had insightful conversations, and doubled down on making global payments even better for you. Before we get into the details, we’d like your thoughts on our blog content.

Now, without further ado, here’s a look at everything that happened and all of the Geegpay updates for this month.
As always, the first thing on our to-do list was giving you something new to enjoy. And this time, we came through with some sweet updates to make getting paid smoother and cheaper.
Freelancers, we heard you loud and clear. No more limits on how much you can withdraw from Upwork straight to Geegpay. That’s right! Whether it’s $50 or $5,000, you can now bring in your earnings with ease. If you’ve been dealing with unnecessary workarounds, it’s time to leave all that stress behind. Link your Geegpay account to Upwork.
Still on something for freelancers, we have added another tool to the Geegpay freelancer toolkit. You now have a free and downloadable Freelance Contract Template you can use for your next project.
Who doesn’t love saving money? With our deposit update, we made sure you can now keep more of your hard-earned money. Here's how:
A little here, a little there, and it all adds up. If you haven’t taken advantage of these fees, this is the best time to do so. Deposit now
We all know, March is Women's month, and to answer the IWD call of accelerating action, we put together activities that go beyond conversations about women to impacting women. Starting with the Raenest Women’s Mentorship Program, where 17 aspiring women connected with experienced mentors, learned valuable industry insights, and took their careers to the next level. Our mentees absolutely made the most of it. Seeing their excitement and growth was a reminder that the right guidance really does make all the difference. To everyone who was part of it, thank you!
Next, we hosted an impactful roundtable discussion: Beyond Conversations: Women Leading Change. Our speakers: Hillary Omitogun – Founder, HerSynergy, Tobi Otokiti – VP of Products, Raenest, Seyifunmi Oderinde – Founder, WLB Consulting, Ekwutosi Okeh– Top-rated freelance coach and founder of Digital Witch shared how they’re driving change in their industries and what we can all do to create more opportunities for women. If you joined in, you already know how inspiring it was. If you missed it… Let’s just say you missed out on some gems, but you know we always have you covered. You can listen to the recap here.
This month on Geegpay Diaries, we sat down with Soye, a copywriting pro, to talk about what it really takes to make it in the world of words. The biggest lesson she had to share with us was that “You don’t need a perfect start to become a top-tier copywriter. Stay curious, take opportunities, and most importantly, just start.” If you’re thinking about getting into copywriting (or improving your skills), this episode is one you need to check out.
We recently did a deep dive into which platform would be a better option to receive your cross border payments - Geegpay or Payoneer. ICYMI, you can still catch up and learn why there’s no need to first receive your salary or earnings on Payoneer and then send it to Geegpay when you can just send it directly.
Three years of making global payments easier? That’s definitely something worth celebrating. That’s why for our anniversary, we gave our users free virtual cards and free USD deposits for 24 hours as a little thank-you.
If you were one of the lucky ones who got in on the offer, congrats! If not, don’t worry; there’s always next time. 😉If you don’t want to miss out next time, you can join our community or follow us on X @geegpay_hq, Instagram @geegpayhq, LinkedIn @Geegpay by Raenest and Tiktok @geegpayhq to stay up to date on everything Geegpay.
