The firm which recently raised $170m in Series C round at a valuation of $1bn also noted that the partnership would allow African traders and merchants to sell to the world.

The company said, “Just last year 2020, PayPal‘s 377 million+ users made transactions that saw PayPal end the year with a $936bn total payment volume for the year 2020. This trillion dollar opportunity didn’t include most African businesses until this new integration between Flutterwave and PayPal.”

According to the tech company, PayPal transaction fees of 4.4 per cent of the transaction value $0.30 per transaction apply to the service.

Marchants would be settled through payment into their PayPal account, Flutterwave said in the statement.
