Zap, is a next-generation banking application that is intended to revolutionize the way Africans manage their finances.

Introduced on March 24, 2025, merges Paystack’s renowned dependability with a bold vision for frictionless financial empowerment.

This is not merely another banking application; it is a game-changing solution that is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the digitally literate generation in Africa.
