This honor highlights OPay’s innovative edge, focus on user satisfaction, and strong role in securing digital transactions within Nigeria’s fintech sector.
Expressing pride in the achievement, OPay COO Dotun Adekunle stated, “This award affirms our commitment to providing secure, innovative, and seamless digital payment experiences.” He emphasized that OPay’s focus on accessible financial solutions aligns with its mission to advance financial inclusion and empower both individuals and businesses.
In response to the recognition, OPay reiterated its dedication to enhancing both security and user experience across its product suite. With a core focus on user protection, the company has rolled out multiple security features tailored to meet the unique challenges of digital payments in Nigeria.
