Growth
From frustration to innovation
PayGate was founded in 2022 by a team of Ghanaian engineers and finance experts who experienced firsthand the challenges of accepting digital payments in Ghana.
We saw small businesses losing sales because they couldn't accept Mobile Money. We saw developers spending months integrating with outdated payment APIs. We knew there had to be a better way.
Today, PayGate powers thousands of businesses across Ghana, from small market vendors to large e-commerce platforms.
