Paystack joins flutterwave as Fintechs supporting #ENDSARS

In solidarity to young Nigerians protesting to put an end to the alleged oppressive police unit SARS, money gateway firm Paystack has joined its counterpart, Flutterwave, to publicly support the movement. Paystack, calling on well meaning Nigerians to donate via Feminists_co platform, made this known on Monday, pledging a sum of N1,000,000 to the cause.

According to Paystack, the company identifies with the movement, and going forward to lend its voice opposing police brutality. “We stand with all Nigerians opposing police brutality. Now more than ever, we must be brave,” Paystack tweeted.

In a follow up tweet, the Fintech firm noted that the fund was to assist with medical and legal expenses of protesters. The tweet read: “Members of the Paystack team have donated N1,000,000 to help pay medical and legal expenses for protesters demanding that #SARSMustEnd.”

This development comes on the heels of a similar show of generosity from Flutterwave, another Fintech player, which initially launched a donation portal for protesters welfare. However, counter allegations have surfaced on the internet, where some supposedly government sponsored influencers have been calling out companies supporting the #ENDSARS movement, tagging them as aiding civic unrest.
