SESO Global Partners with Borderless on Diaspora Payments

In Short

SESO Global says it has partnered with Borderless to make cross border property payments easier for African developers and diaspora buyers. The companies say the work also covers buyer management tasks that often sit outside the payment itself.

What Happened: How SESO Global And Borderless Plan To Reduce Friction

SESO Global says diaspora buyers can face slow and unpredictable international transfers. It says banks may restrict transfers, cap amounts, and flag legitimate property payments as possible fraud.

SESO Global gives an example of a buyer in Toronto trying to send a property deposit to Accra, then having the transfer frozen for a fraud review. It says a frozen transfer can delay a deposit for weeks, cost a buyer their unit, or reduce confidence in buying.

On the developer side, SESO Global says selling to buyers abroad can create admin work across currencies and tools. It lists collecting reservation fees, deposits and instalments by hand, verifying each buyer’s identity and documents, tracking buyers across spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads, and keeping buyers updated from purchase to handover.

SESO Global says this gap is what Borderless was built to address. It also says the collaboration began with discussions in Ghana, and that SESO Global introduced Borderless to Nigerian developers.

Why It Matters

Diaspora demand for African real estate is “real and growing,” according to SESO Global. If payments and compliance checks make deposits hard to send, deals that are already agreed can still fail.

For developers, the same friction can turn diaspora sales into manual operations work. SESO Global is positioning its partnership with Borderless as a way to reduce that burden, by pairing cross border payments with tools for tracking and managing buyers.
