Xsolla expands local payment options in Nigeria through full Paga ecosystem integration, serving more than 20 million users
LOS ANGELES – Xsolla, a global video game commerce company supporting developers in launching, growing, and monetizing their games, has expanded its payment solutions in Nigeria with the full integration of the Paga ecosystem, one of the country’s largest licensed mobile-money operators.
Nigeria—West Africa’s most populous nation with more than 230 million people—is a rapidly growing gaming market expected to surpass $300 million in revenue in 2024. With mobile-first gaming and digital transfers rising sharply, localized payment options have become essential for ensuring fast, smooth, and secure transactions.
Through the addition of Pay with Paga, Bank Transfers with Paga, and Cash by Paga, Xsolla now delivers a comprehensive payment suite tailored to Nigerian players. Paga currently serves more than 20 million users and processes high transaction volumes nationwide, making it a trusted and familiar option across the country.
The integration gives players multiple convenient ways to complete in-app purchases, bank transfers, and cash deposits—all with instant confirmations and reduced friction at checkout.
Key benefits of the Paga integration
-
Instant 24/7 confirmations: Faster, seamless payment flows for players.
-
Localized experience: Paga’s widespread adoption makes it a highly trusted digital wallet among Nigerian users.
-
Increased developer reach: Developers can expand their footprint by offering payment options that boost conversions, reduce card declines, and tap directly into Paga’s large mobile-money user base.
“Introducing Paga as a new payment method to players in Nigeria reflects our commitment to meeting players where they are,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “Paga’s strong local presence and trusted platform make it easier for Nigerian players to engage confidently, ensuring that convenience and security go hand in hand.”
Xsolla continues to support global game growth by enabling developers to integrate local payment methods across key markets. With the addition of Paga in Nigeria, players now have easier access to secure, reliable payments—making it simpler than ever to pay, play, and succeed.
