October has been a month of momentum, milestones, and meaningful engagement at Payaza. From expanding our presence in West Africa to joining high-level industry discussions shaping Africa’s digital finance future, our focus remains clear, to build a payment ecosystem that is inclusive, trusted, and globally competitive.

Giving Back: Outreach to Little Saints Orphanage
Beyond business, we believe in the power of compassion. The Payaza team visited the Little Saints Orphanage this month, donating essential supplies and spending time with the children. The visit served as a reminder that our mission extends beyond payments, it’s about people, purpose, and positive impact.
