In many places the radio is still where people hear news, music and advice every day. A few minutes on a local or community station can put your money app in front of people who never scroll social media.

Find the right stations

Look for community stations and shows that speak to your people: a language, a city, a faith or a trade. A small station your customers love beats a big one they ignore.

Offer something useful

Presenters want content that helps listeners. Pitch a topic, not an advert:

  • How to send money home without hidden fees.
  • How to spot money scams.
  • Simple ways for small traders to get paid safely.

Try it

Name your platform and watch it come to life

Type a name, tap a colour and pick what it does. The phone changes as you go.

Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.

Keep it simple on air

Speak plainly, tell one short story about a real customer problem, and say your app's name clearly more than once. Listeners cannot click a link, so give an easy name to search for.

Follow up

Thank the presenter, share the clip online, and offer to come back when you have news. One good guest often gets invited again.
