Leading the charge in Africa's digital payment
and commerce sector, Interswitch has announced a pivotal collaboration with
OPay through its Interswitch Payment Gateway (IPG). This integration enables
OPay users to seamlessly make direct payments for goods and services on
merchants' websites from their OPay Wallet balance.
This strategic alliance aims to redefine the
digital payment experience, providing users with a secure and frictionless
payment solution. The incorporation of OPay into the suite of checkout payment
options on the Interswitch Payment Gateway (IPG) adds a new layer of
convenience for users, complementing the existing array of payment methods such
as Card, Quickteller, Transfer, QR, and USSD. Muyiwa Asagba, Managing Director
of Digital Commerce & Merchant Acquiring (Paymate) at Interswitch,
emphasized the significance of this partnership in advancing the growth of
digital payments in the country.

payment convenience to users and merchants. This partnership reflects our
dedication to introducing innovations that enhance the digital payment
experience, and we are eager to witness the positive impact it will have on the
entire payment ecosystem."
Ms. Elizabeth, Vice-President of App
and Cards underlines that OPay remains focused on its commitment to making
financial services more inclusive through technology hence the partnership with
Interswitch to deliver an innovative payment solution. The Pay with OPay
product is a 2-step process that will bring an extremely convenient payment
experience, a closed-loop solution that is secure, with a 100% success rate and
stable network uptime. This cutting-edge solution affirms our
customer-first and pure excellence in innovation with high adoption within the
web payment sector. Interswitch
urges both customers and merchants to embrace this transformative feature,
capitalizing on the convenience, security, and flexibility it brings. The
