How much do Flutterwave, Paystack and Interswitch pay?
According to Profolio's 2026 graduate trainee salary guide, the three companies have the following estimated monthly pay ranges:

Profolio notes that graduate trainee compensation can vary by company and role. Applicants should therefore confirm salary details directly with recruiters before accepting an offer.
What graduates should know about opportunities at the companies
Flutterwave
Flutterwave operates a graduate programme designed to give recent graduates practical experience across different business functions.
Its official graduate programme page describes a 12-month programme covering areas such as engineering, design, finance and business operations, marketing, commercial functions and product development.
The company confirms that the programme is paid through a monthly stipend, but the page does not disclose the amount. Candidates should check the latest vacancies and recruitment requirements for details.
Paystack
Paystack provides payment infrastructure that enables businesses to accept and manage payments. Graduates interested in opportunities can monitor its official careers page for available positions.
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 listed on its careers page and should not automatically be assumed to apply identically to every role or trainee programme.

Interswitch
Interswitch is another option for graduates interested in payment technology, financial services and digital commerce. Applicants can monitor the company's official website for career information and recruitment announcements.
Profolio estimates monthly graduate trainee pay at between ₦200,000 and ₦350,000, but a current official salary scale confirming this range was not available.
What applicants should consider before accepting an offer
Beyond salary, graduates should examine the terms of employment, training opportunities, health insurance, pension contributions, bonuses and other benefits. They should also establish whether the quoted amount represents basic salary, a stipend or total compensation.
For job seekers, the best way to compare opportunities is to review official recruitment announcements and obtain written confirmation of pay and benefits.
Although online salary guides can provide a useful starting point, the figures should be treated as estimates until confirmed by the employer.
