LAGOS, NIGERIA / NEW YORK, UNITED STATES — June 30, 2026 — Paga Group, Africa’s leading payments infrastructure company, and TBook, the first embedded RWA liquidity layer to bring institutional-grade tokenized yield into user-facing apps, today announced a strategic partnership to give African consumers and businesses direct access to tokenized real-world assets, built on the Sui Blockchain.
The collaboration connects Paga’s local payments and compliance infrastructure with TBook’s global network of asset issuers, who tokenize real-world assets and make them available on-chain. Through this partnership, Africans will be able to invest directly in opportunities that were once out of reach, closed off by geography, minimum capital requirements, or the gated nature of global capital markets; for instance, an individual in Lagos investing in a tokenized poultry farming venture in China.
Paga will offer this service strictly through its entities regulated by the relevant financial authorities in each jurisdiction in which it operates, maintaining the company’s commitment to compliant operations across all markets.
“My desire is to see Africans participate fully in global commerce and grow their wealth,” said Tayo Oviosu, Founder and Group CEO of Paga Group. “This partnership gives everyday Africans access to investment-grade opportunities that have historically been out of reach. Businesses building on Paga Engine can offer these investment products in their own apps, extending reach significantly. We are not just moving money faster; we are opening the door to global finance for Africans.”
“Every consumer fintech is sitting on idle balances that earn nothing for the customer and little for the business — especially in emerging markets,” said Nick Young, co-founder of TBook. “TBook’s partnership with Paga unlocks fully regulated, institutional-grade assets for millions of users through a single turnkey integration. This is what financial inclusion looks like at scale.”
The partnership unlocks value on both sides of the bridge:
African consumers and businesses can now access tokenized real-world assets from global issuers, unlocking premier financial opportunities that were previously out of reach for most people on the continent.
Asset issuers on TBook’s network gain a compliant, regulated distribution channel into one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer and business markets.
And for Paga’s ecosystem, the partnership marks an expansion beyond payments and remittances into global investment access.
The result is a regulated, two-way bridge: global assets flowing to African investors, and African capital flowing into global markets. Both are moving through infrastructure built for compliance from the ground up.
Paga Group processed over $11 billion in payments and facilitated 169 million transactions in 2025. TBook’s platform has served over 8 million users across 200+ partners, with 22.6 million on-chain IDs created and over 16.7 million tokenized assets claimed to date.
