PayWise is a digital payments app for individuals and merchants in Nigeria that enables money transfers and everyday transactions using a phone number and password, without relying on an ATM card or a smartphone.

Key capabilities include:

Wallet funding and payments: Users can fund a wallet and use it to make low or high value payments.
Merchant terminal payments: Customers can pay at merchant terminals by entering their phone details.
QR code transactions for businesses: Businesses can generate unique QR codes that customers scan to complete payments.
Send and receive money: Users can transfer funds and receive money to a linked phone number (the research brief notes NIN linkage).

Available on Android (Google Play Store) and iOS (App Store).

It targets B2C users (including market shoppers and traders making small payments) and B2B merchants that want to accept phone and QR-based payments.

In the Nigerian cashless payments context, it stands out for focusing on cardless, phone-first transactions that support both small, everyday purchases (as low as ₦20) and larger payments, with an emphasis on fast transfers and reduced waiting for alerts.
