Tayo Oviosu’s Paga has hit the 9 million unique user mark. This means that the mobile payment platform has served over 1 million people since it hit 8 million users 4 months ago.
Here is Paga’s journey to 9 million unique users according to them;
Growth — Since 2012, we have processed 57 million transactions worth N941 billion ( $3.6 billion) and we have reached profitability.

We celebrated our 9th anniversary — In April this year, we clocked 9 years of making life possible through innovation.
