About this app

Zap is built by Paystack to do one thing well: make spending effortless, reliable and organized, every single time. Backed by the infrastructure powering thousands of Nigeria's most trusted businesses.

Here's what that looks like in practice.
• No bloat. Just clean, fast payments. Zap is designed to be clutter-free. No unnecessary screens, no confusing menus, just a clean, super-fast payment experience that gets out of your way.
• Finally know where your money goes. Zap automatically categorises your spending and surfaces insights about your financial habits. See patterns, track what matters, and stop guessing at the end of the month.
• Pay the same people faster. Zap remembers everyone you pay. Repeat any transfer in two taps without re-entering account numbers.
• Scan to pay. Point your camera at any account number whether on a payment decal, receipt, invoice, or phone screen, and Zap reads the digits and finds the bank for you. No more typing long numbers or second-guessing.
• All your banks, one app. Connect whichever banks you use and move money from them without switching apps.
• Pay at any Paystack checkout. Zap works natively at thousands of Paystack-powered businesses across Nigeria. Pay directly from Zap with just a few taps. It’s faster than any other payment method.
• Fast, reliable and secure every time. Built on Paystack's infrastructure, every transfer is encrypted and protected. Your money moves securely, and when it lands, you'll know immediately.


Zap is not a bank. Deposits are held with our licensed banking partner. Zap is a product of Paystack Payments Limited, licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Ratings and reviews

Downloaded Zap because of the simplistic UI and lack of unnecessary features and it absolutely delivers. The ability to use my camera to scan an account number is a game changer. However, I can't scan account numbers that are further away like when I'm in a church hall or event center; I'm guessing due to camera API limitations but with CameraX API it would be nice to see a zoom feature and better preview quality. Also waiting to be able to link GTBank.

This is phenomenal! it links all your banks in one place so that you could just use this app to transfer from every bank that you have. It is so convenient and amazing.
