I'm Nigeria, NIBSS is the top.

They aren't just payment gateway firm, they are switching company which other payment gateways rely on.

Although the company is owned by the government.

But this doesn't take out the fact that these private gateway and switching companies if they invest and spread their tentacles overseas won't overtake them in the future.

₦75,000 for GT pay setup? No wonder no one consider them at all. When a better interface like paystack and flutterwave are free to help you setup their payment platform on your website.

Thank God for our young people, Nigerian banks would've frustrated us

Noted

Nice post

I have been using VoguePay for years in my online bookstore and have never had a single issue with them. Their charge is perfect.

Whenever someone makes a purchase, they alert me immediately with an SMS and an email. After 5 days or less, they automatically transfer the money to my GTB.

They are probably the best. No, not probably the best — it's the BEST. I'll never think of changing them as long as they don't change and hike price like GTPay.
