Paystack

Founded in 2015 by Shola Akinlade and Ezra Olubi, Paystack aims to solve the payment challenges for businesses across Africa by providing a platform that allows them to accept payments from customers via credit card, debit card, bank transfer, and mobile money on their websites or mobile apps. The company's mission is to help businesses in Africa become profitable, beloved, and respected. Paystack was acquired by the global payments leader, Stripe, in October 2020 to accelerate commerce across the continent, but it continues to operate independently.
