Paymentwall,; allowing 5 billion people to make payments using credit cards and 150 local payment options all over the world – through this partnership is working to create a solution that provides a global payment coverage, with fraud and risk management, 24/7 international customer and merchant support, advanced delivery confirmation and risk management APIs, Sales and Pricing Optimization and UX/UX Customization.

Speaking on this new partnership, Tayo Oviosu, Founder and Group CEO, Paga commented; “We are excited to partner with Paymentwall, as they are constantly building world-class solutions for consumers and businesses. Our goals are well aligned.

As we scale our wallet across emerging markets such as Nigeria, Mexico, and Ethiopia, partnering with Paymentwall to give both consumers and businesses, who have been underserved, access to their well-established network made sense to us. Furthermore, it was clear to us in all our engagements the alignment of our goals towards solving the issues of payments and as such making life possible using new and innovative approaches. We are pleased to have signed a long-term relationship with Paymentwall.”
