Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, is now enabling digital tax collections for Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)—becoming one of the few fintechs modernizing tax payments for the government.
Why it matters
Tax collection in Nigeria has long been plagued by inefficiencies, limited accessibility, and compliance challenges.
By integrating with FIRS, Flutterwave’s secure payment infrastructure streamlines tax payments for individuals, SMEs, and corporations—enhancing speed, transparency, and convenience.
The big picture
- Provides real-time payment tracking and reporting for taxpayers and the government.
- Expands digital and mobile payment options, making tax compliance easier.
- Supports offline tax payments for those without internet access.
- Enables Nigerians in the diaspora to pay taxes seamlessly.
What they’re saying
- “By making tax payments easier and more transparent, we are helping to digitize government collections and support national development,” said Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, CEO of Flutterwave.
- “Working with the public sector is pivotal to shaping the future of digital payments in Nigeria,” added Olufunmilayo Olaniyi, Flutterwave’s SVP of Business Development.
What’s next
Flutterwave continues to expand its role in public sector digitization, following its 2024 partnership with Nigeria’s EFCC to establish a cybercrime research center.
As one of the leading fintechs supporting government tax collections, Flutterwave is setting the standard for financial technology solutions in Africa.
