At an event during Social Media Week Lagos, mobile payments service Paga introduced Payroll, a seamless, end-to-end product targeted towards small and medium enterprises looking to solve their everyday payment problems.
The event was dubbed #SmallIsTheNewBig. The ‘small’ in this case refers to the size of business that Payroll is targeted towards.
Paga was founded in 2009, and is the leading mobile payments service provider in Nigeria. It works in partnership with banks, microfinance institutions and mobile network operators to enable money transfers from one user to another.
Payroll is designed the process of making payments by small businesses, which often struggle to meet their financial obligations.
A goal of @mypaga is to solve the everyday payment needs of SMEs. Paga Payroll solves a major pain for all SMEs! Pay into ANY bank account!
