A fintech firm, Opay has improved its security features in a bid to tighten users’ deposits against cybercrime.
According to the Managing Director, OPay, Mr. Dauda Gotring, the new features offer a double layer of protection that shields users’ hard-earned money against unforeseen circumstances.
“At OPay, Users’ financial security is our top priority. By combining comprehensive regulatory compliance, innovative security features, and ongoing user education, we are building a digital banking ecosystem where users can transact with confidence,” he said.
He added that the security measures offer another layer of protection aimed at an advanced fraud detection system that actively monitors for suspicious activity.
“If a potential scam is identified, the system triggers an immediate double-confirmation alert before any transaction occurs.
“This crucial pause empowers users to verify the recipient and transaction details, effectively catching scams in their tracks before any damage is done. It’s like having a vigilant financial guard protecting users in the digital marketplace,” he said.
He reiterated the firm’s commitment to protect users’ data from phishing attacks and scams, urging users to send short code to lock their accounts immediately they lost their phone or card.
“So, if this ever happens to our dear users’, they can get a phone and dial #955*131# to lock their account and #955*132# to lock your card immediately without any hassle.
“By empowering users with knowledge, OPay fosters a vigilant community against fraudulent activities,” he added.
