PayPay digital wallet allows Angolans to make payments via QR code 

By · April 12, 2023 · 2 min read

By Luzia Santos

Angolan app PayPay is the first digital wallet to allow payment via QR code at the supermarket, resulting from a partnership with the Fresmart chain.

According to a press release sent to Forbes Lusophone Africa, app users can shop at Fresmart supermarkets “and pay with just a few clicks on their phone.”

The new payment, the note states, is available, in this initial phase, only in Fresmart stores in the centrality of Kilamba and the Expressway, in the country’s capital, Luanda.
