PayTic is in an excellent position to play a major part in growing our operations across Africa.
With the $4 million funding, PayTic will serve more customers and onboard more talents to support their growth potential. As the company scales its operations across North and Sub-Saharan Africa, it aims to improve financial service and economic growth in the region.
