No NYSC requirement or age limit stated. Benefits include fully paid health insurance, paid annual leave, and wellness support including gym membership. No stated deadline.

Licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria as a Mobile Money Operator, Paga has grown from a simple money transfer service into a multi-currency payments ecosystem serving individuals and businesses.
