The company is also providing cost-of-living adjustments, tax support for Nigeria employees, and a one-time economic relief payment for its entire workforce globally.The additional tax adjustment support and cost-of-living updates in Nigeria were introduced to reflect recent regulatory changes affecting employees’ take-home pay.

It was part of the company’s ways to ease economic burdens of employees in the face of evolving global economic conditions and rising living costs across multiple markets. The step further reinforces its focus on employee well-being, career growth, a robust talent pipeline, and sustainable value creation.
Flutterwave Founder and CEO, Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, said the company’s progress remains rooted in its people.
“I often say our people are the core strength of this company,” Agboola said. “They are the ultimate engine behind everything we build, giving us the capacity to create solutions that power businesses, unlock opportunities, and move money seamlessly across Africa and beyond.”
Commenting, Head, People and Culture at Flutterwave, Annette Akpolo, emphasized the company’s holistic approach to talent management. “Our goal has always been to build an environment where our people can focus on doing their best work, rather than being weighed down by economic anxiety,” Akpolo said.
