Paystack

Founded in 2015 by Shola Akinlade and Ezra Olubi, Paystack is a Nigerian fintech company that simplifies payment processing for businesses. The platform supports payments via cards, bank transfers, and mobile money, catering to businesses of all sizes.

Paystack’s user-friendly APIs enable developers to integrate payment systems quickly, while its dashboard provides merchants with insights into transaction data. In 2020, Paystack was acquired by Stripe for $200 million, making it one of the largest exits in African tech history.
