Paga Group, a payments infrastructure company, has recorded a landmark partnership with Sui, a high-performance blockchain designed to move money as freely as messages.
Under the partnership, Paga aims to integrate Sui Dollar (USDsui), Sui’s native stablecoin, and adopt Sui as the primary blockchain across its ecosystem.
Tayo Oviosu, group chief executive officer & chairman, Paga Group, shared the news live onstage at Sui Live in Miami Beach on May 7, 2026.
The event took place during the week of Consensus Miami, the world’s leading blockchain and digital finance conference.
Paga Group, which processed over $11 billion in payments and facilitated 169 million transactions in 2025 across its three business lines: Paga Engine (B2B infrastructure), Paga (consumer payments app), and Doroki (retail merchant platform), will integrate Sui Dollar to offer stablecoin-native payment rails to its 300+ enterprise clients and millions of consumer users across the continent.
Sui Dollar (USDsui) is the native stablecoin of the Sui blockchain, and launched in March 2026. It maintains a 1:1 peg to the US dollar and is backed by US Treasury-grade liquid assets.
“We have chosen Sui because it is built from the ground up for the scalability, throughput, programmability, and privacy requirements needed for the future of money movement by both humans and agents,” said Tayo Oviosu, at Sui Live. “It also really helped that both our companies have a strong alignment of vision to deliver financial freedom to Africans. Through this partnership, Paga and Sui are working towards a day where Africans have the freedom to work globally, invest globally, bring their creativity to life for the world, live the lives they want, and thrive.”
“Sui is built to make money move as freely as messages and is committed to empowering high-growth, developer-rich regions by providing high-performance blockchain technology,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “Paga has spent seventeen years earning Africa’s trust at $11 billion in annual volume and together, we are deploying the payment infrastructure this continent has been building toward. Africa has a vibrant developer ecosystem, entrepreneurial drive, and increased interest in blockchain technology. This partnership is ready to meet that demand.”
Paga and Sui are building the infrastructure to fix key structural issues that affect Africa’s financial system, including wealth erosion, broken cross-border payment rails, exclusion from global commerce, and limits to financial mobility.
Paga will integrate Sui Dollar (USDsui) across its enterprise API suite as well as the Paga consumer app.
This gives Paga’s entire customer base access to a stable, dollar-denominated payment layer that moves money without conversion loss, and without correspondent banking intermediaries. Paga is making an architectural commitment
in the adoption of Sui as the primary blockchain for its platform and this positions Paga as a primary deployment network for the Sui ecosystem in Africa.
As part of the collaboration, Paga will also offer yield-earning products backed by real-world assets, with Sui serving as the onchain settlement layer, giving African consumers and businesses access to dollar-denominated investments globally.
Paga and Sui will co-create developer tooling and documentation to support fintech builders to leverage on the combined Paga Engine and Sui infrastructure. Commercially, a joint go-to-market program will drive enterprise adoption across Africa.
