Background of the Study
Digital payment platforms have become integral to financial transactions in Nigeria, offering efficiency, security, and transparency. Paystack, a leading payment platform, has transformed the way businesses and individuals conduct financial transactions, promoting financial accountability through traceable payment records and real-time reporting (Usman & Ibrahim, 2024).
Financial accountability is critical in ensuring the proper use of financial resources and building trust among stakeholders. Digital payment platforms like Paystack enable users to monitor transactions, reduce fraud, and enhance compliance with financial regulations (Adetunji & Okafor, 2023).
This study examines the role of Paystack in improving financial accountability in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread adoption of digital payment platforms, issues such as data breaches, transaction errors, and limited regulatory oversight undermine their effectiveness in promoting financial accountability. For Paystack, ensuring that its platform aligns with accountability standards is essential but under-explored (Adeola & Usman, 2023).
This study addresses the need to evaluate the impact of digital payment platforms on financial accountability, using Paystack as a case study.
