Nigerian mobile money start-up, Paga has hit another milestone of 10 million unique users just after it announced 9 million users 2 months ago. The start-up also announced another cloud payroll business that will be launching soon.

Started in 2012 by Tayo Oviosu, with an aim to take advantage of the cash build-up in the Nigeria’s system and to create a means whereby financial services are available to all. It works across several platforms including online and via SMS.

.@mypaga just hit 10 million users!! Thank you to all who use Paga and place their trust in us! #makinglifepossible #JustPagait https://t.co/SkWyK2pH7n

“Today, Paga is squarely tackling mobile payments and banking the unbanked/underbanked, and our sister company, a cloud payroll business, is launching soon… We set out on this journey to make it simple for people to access and use money. Our motivation is simple — we want to make life possible for everyone.” Tayo Oviosu said in a statement.

“We will continue to invest in our business in Nigeria and grow our services, offerings, and partnerships. We will deepen our partnerships with Banks and other financial service providers to offer simple digital financial services to all Nigerians.” Tayo concluded.
