Why we built this

Digital payments skipped the people who need them most.

Nigeria's economy runs on traders, artisans and vendors — the people POS machines were never priced for. ThynkPay works with a printed QR code and the phone that's already in your pocket. Nothing to buy, nothing to install, nothing to learn.

Your money is safe

We hold the app. Providus holds the money.

ThynkPay is a technology company, not a bank. Your wallet is a real bank account, which means your money is never sitting with a startup.

  • A real bank account, not a balance in an app

    Every wallet is a live account at Providus Bank, a CBN-licensed Nigerian commercial bank.

  • Your BVN never touches our servers

    It's passed once to Providus for NIBSS verification, and that's it. We don't store it.

  • Withdraw to any Nigerian bank, any time

    Even if ThynkPay stopped existing tomorrow, your money would still be at Providus — and still yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download the ThynkPay app?

ThynkPay is live on Google Play (search “ThynkPay” or open play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thynkpay.mobile) and the App Store (apps.apple.com/app/id6760615518). Both listings link straight to the download. Scan the QR codes in the “Get the app” section with your phone camera for a one-tap install.

How does ThynkPay actually work?

Merchants get a QR code. Customers scan it (with ThynkPay or any banking app that supports NIBSS transfers) and type the amount. The money lands in the merchant's ThynkPay wallet — a real bank account at Providus Bank — which can be withdrawn to any Nigerian bank at any time.

Is my money safe?

Yes. Your money sits at Providus Bank, a CBN-licensed Nigerian commercial bank. ThynkPay is the app on top — like how WhatsApp uses your phone's data plan. Even if ThynkPay stopped existing, your money would still be at Providus and you could withdraw it directly through them.

What does it cost?

For merchants: no setup fee, no monthly fee. Free for amounts under ₦500. ₦5 for ₦500–₦2,000, ₦10 for ₦2,000–₦10,000, ₦20 for ₦10,000–₦100,000, ₦50 for anything above ₦100,000. Withdrawals to a bank: flat ₦10 (waived under ₦1,000) plus the bank network's transfer charge and 7.5% VAT on that charge. Adding money is free. For customers: the app is free — the merchant's fee covers the cost.
