The company announced on Tuesday that the new partnership will enable PayPal users globally make payments for business transactions and pay service providers on the Africa continent through Flutterwave’s platform, connecting them to more than 377 million PayPal account holders globally.

The chief executive officer and founder of Flutterwave, Olugbenga Agboola said on the company’s website, “We are excited to bring PayPal’s fully integrated services to businesses across Africa.
