About Paystack

Paystack’s mission is to power African ambition. Over 300K of some of the most renowned businesses in Nigeria, as well as a growing number of merchants in South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya use Paystack’s modern payments gateway. They include the likes of MTN, Burger King, UPS, AXA Mansard Insurance, FairMoney, PiggyVest, and many others.

In just over 9 years, our growing team has introduced a steady cadence of innovation within the online payments landscape, such as automated recurring payments, the ability for customers to pay directly from their bank accounts, automated chargebacks, and much more. We’ve been acquired by Stripe and are doubling down on the mission to help build out Africa’s payments infrastructure.

We’re obsessed about building the best place to work on the continent while accelerating digital commerce across Africa.

About Zap

Zap is Paystack’s first-ever consumer product — a clean, fast, and secure app for making everyday payments via bank transfers in Nigeria. Whether you’re splitting a bill with friends, sending money home, or paying at checkout, Zap makes payments simple and reliable.

With Zap, we’re extending Paystack’s infrastructure beyond businesses to everyday people — and reimagining what a great money experience should feel like.

We’re in the early stages of building Zap, and we’re looking for team members who thrive in zero-to-one environments, love storytelling, and want to help shape how millions of people experience money.
