Michael Faye

Co-founder and CEO at Taptap Send

About

Michael Faye co-founded Taptap Send with Paul Niehaus to solve a simple but stubborn problem: sending money home cheaply, quickly and reliably. Launched in 2018, the service was built around immigrant communities and now sends to more than 70 destinations across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America. It has moved billions of dollars and serves millions of customers. Faye's approach has been deliberately community-led, building trust among diaspora communities while competing on what matters most in remittances: price, speed and reliability. He belongs on Borderless 100 because Taptap Send demonstrates how cross-border finance can scale through trust.
