Flutterwave programme

Flutterwave runs a paid graduate programme that gives recent graduates practical experience across business functions.

The company confirms the programme is paid through a monthly stipend but does not disclose the amount. Candidates should check current vacancies and recruitment requirements for details.

Paystack benefits and Interswitch checks

Paystack provides payment infrastructure for businesses to accept and manage payments. Graduates can monitor its careers page for openings. The company lists benefits including health and life insurance, professional development, paid annual leave, a work laptop and support for internet expenses. These are company-wide benefits and may not apply identically to every role or trainee programme.

Interswitch is another option for graduates interested in payment technology, financial services and digital commerce. Applicants can check the company's official website for career information and recruitment announcements. Profolio estimates monthly graduate trainee pay at ₦200,000 to ₦350,000, but a current official salary scale confirming the range was not available.

What applicants should confirm

Graduate trainee compensation can vary by company and role, Profolio notes. Applicants should confirm salary details directly with recruiters before accepting an offer. Beyond pay, graduates should examine employment terms, training opportunities, health insurance, pension contributions, bonuses and other benefits. They should also establish whether a quoted amount is basic salary, a stipend or total compensation.

Online salary guides can be a useful starting point, but the figures should be treated as estimates until an employer confirms them in writing.
