Paga, one of Africa’s oldest fintech companies, is deepening its push into wealth products through a partnership with blockchain infrastructure startup TBook that will allow users to invest in tokenised real-world assets (RWAs).
The partnership will connect Paga’s payment and compliance infrastructure with TBook’s marketplace for tokenised assets built on the Sui blockchain, giving customers and businesses access to investments ranging from fixed-income products to tokenised private assets.
The partnership deepens Paga’s infrastructure strategy. Paga Engine, its payments infrastructure business, which it said processed about $12 billion in transaction value in 2025, can now distribute tokenised investment products alongside its existing financial services. The company is positioning itself to power the financial products that other businesses offer, not just the ones it provides directly.
“My desire is to see Africans participate fully in global commerce and grow their wealth,” Tayo Oviosu, Paga’s Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), said in a statement. “This partnership gives everyday Africans access to investment-grade opportunities that have historically been out of reach. Businesses building on Paga Engine can offer these investment products in their own apps, extending reach significantly.”
