Paystack’s mission is to help merchants in Africa get paid by anyone, anywhere in the world. Over 60,000 of some of the notable corporations and business in Nigeria and Africa use Paystack’s modern payments infrastructure, including MTN, UPS, FilmHouse Cinemas, Smile Communications, Air Peace Airlines, AXA Mansard Insurance, and many others.

We process well over $150 million in transactions monthly, and our double-digit growth has us processing even more every month. In addition, we’re now operational in two other countries, Ghana and South Africa, and launching in Kenya and Cote d’Ivoire in the near future.
At Paystack, we believe that we will win by recruiting talented people and giving them the space, resources, and support to do the best work of their lives. We hire the most capable people, treat them with genuine respect, and give them the means to succeed. And we’d love your help!
