Paying taxes in Nigeria just got easier! We are excited to announce that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has integrated our payment solutions to make tax payments simpler, easier, and faster for everyone. Whether you’re a large enterprise, a small business owner, an accountant, or someone trying to handle personal taxes, we’ve got you covered.

As a responsible organization, we recognize the crucial role taxes play in enabling Nigeria to meet its obligations to its citizens. We also know that paying them can sometimes be time-consuming. That’s why the FIRS has integrated our payment solutions into their tax payment system to bring you a smooth, secure, and quick way to handle tax payments online and offline. Now, Nigerians at home and abroad can pay their taxes easily using payment methods they are familiar with – debit/credit cards and bank transfer.
