Our Story
Trust meets
Community.
Founded in 2025, BAYA was built on a simple belief: that buying and selling in Nigeria should be safe, honest, and connected.
Two Sides, One Platform.
BAYA is a marketplace that connects student buyers with verified sellers no middlemen, no inventory of our own. Just a safe, simple space to trade.
For Buyers
Shop verified sellers with escrow-secured payments. Your money is held until you confirm you received your item.
For Sellers
List in minutes, negotiate in-app, and reach thousands of buyers. Listing is free, and a platform fee applies.
The Year It Began
BAYA now connects student buyers and sellers across Nigeria.

Escrow Protection
