Paga Launches New Customer Transaction Channel

In a continued bid to make payments more accessible for its users the company has announced the launch of a new customer transaction channel – Paga for Android.

Available to download at the Google Play store, the application designed by Paga’s in-house technical team, gives users direct access to Paga services from any android device.

With limited reliance on Internet, low data consumption and network connectivity the application is positioned to provide users with a better and faster experience.

Commenting on the launch of Paga for Android Daniel Oparison, head of Consumer Business at Paga said: “At Paga our service offerings are carefully designed to respond to our customer’s pain points and this additional channel simply reinforces our commitment towards eliminating the stress of traffic, bank queues or carrying cash around. Paga for Android is designed to put the power back in the hands of the consumer; by giving them the freedom to pay their bills, buy airtime, and send money to bank accounts and much more, on the go. The ability to solve issues around payments unique to our region of the world, is one of the many reasons Paga continues to be the number one option for millions of Nigerians looking for simple solutions to pay and get paid.”

In line with the companies promise to deliver accessible payments options, Paga for Android allows users to transact with a debit card straight from the app.

They can also use the app to send money or airtime directly to contacts on their phones list; or find their nearest Paga agent.

Responding to why Paga was introducing an additional transaction channel to the market, Tayo Oviosu, founder & CEO said: “Paga for Android brings a world of convenience to the fingertips of every Nigerian with an Android phone. I am very excited about that and about the various payment innovations we plan to bring to the market. In 2014 alone, these innovations saved over 2.3m Paga users approximately 691,266 hours – That’s enough time to build the pyramids of Egypt 4 times over. We look forward to bringing this same functionality and convenience to other devices in the near future.

Leveraging its flair for innovation, Paga remains committed to changing the mobile payments landscape and transforming the lives of millions of Nigerians looking to avoid challenges associated with payments.
