PressPayNg: The Fintech Powerhouse Transforming Education Funding Across Africa and Beyond

Imagine an Africa where no family has to choose between rent and tuition.
Where no mother sells her shop to send her child back to school.
Where no student abandons their dream because of financial hardship.

Stop imagining — PressPayNg is making that future a reality.

Founded in 2021, PressPayNg was born in response to skyrocketing tuition fees and a widening education gap. Today, it stands tall as Africa’s most trusted education finance platform, built not just for students, but for the families that carry their dreams.

Whether you’re a single mother in Lagos, a trader in Jos, or a guardian in Nairobi, we offer a smarter, seamless way to save, borrow, and secure education financing, all in one powerful platform.

What We Offer:

• Smart Savings Plans to help families plan ahead

A New Way to See Students

Traditional lenders focus on credit scores.
We focus on human potential.

A 19-year-old student with no financial history and a family making sacrifices? That’s not a credit risk, that’s a future worth funding.

Our proprietary risk model sees more than numbers — it sees stories.

From Nigeria to the World 🌍

We’re scaling fast, not just across Africa (Accra, Addis, Cairo, Cape Town), but reaching the African diaspora in the UK, US, Canada, and the Middle East.

Wherever Africans pursue education, PressPayNg is building the bridge between aspiration and access.
