Paga partners with Flutterwave on payment gateway

Mobile payments company, Paga, has entered into partnership with Flutterwave to support secure one-click payments for Paga wallet users at any merchant where the Flutterwave gateway is enabled. Founded in 2016, Flutterwave enables its customers to build customizable payment applications through its APIs.

Through this partnership, Paga will now feature as a payment option for merchants that integrate the Flutterwave payment gateway, thus allowing its customers to pay merchants from their Paga wallet.

The collaboration immediately opens up Flutterwave’s merchants base of airlines, media outfits, hotels, ticketing companies, fashion retailers, etc. to Paga’s over 14 million customers.

“At Paga, we build solutions to make it simple for consumers and businesses to access and use money. By partnering with Flutterwave on their gateway, we give our customers access to quickly make payments to an even larger pool of merchants,” said Jay Alabraba, Paga Co-founder and Director of Business Development in a statement made available to BusinessDay. “It’s a win-win situation. Customer has a faster payment option and merchant gets their money seamlessly. Also, importantly, the service is end-to-end secure.”

Commenting on the new development, Flutterwave’s Co-Founder and CEO, Olugbenga “GB” Agboola said in the statement, “We’re on a mission to simplify payments for endless possibilities giving everyone an opportunity to grow. We’re excited to connect all businesses on Flutterwave to Paga’s rapidly growing customer base where a new wave of prosperity across Nigeria, Africa, and the World will be witnessed as a result of this and that’s why we are here.”
