OPAY Recognized as Fintech Company of the Year 2024

In a significant achievement, OPAY, a leading financial technology institution in Nigeria, has been awarded the title of Fintech Company of the Year 2024 by Leadership Newspapers. This recognition makes OPAY the sole fintech recipient of the prestigious leadership awards this year.

A Celebratory Ceremony at Villa Aso Rock

The award ceremony took place on April 8 at the iconic Villa Aso Rock. This event celebrated the remarkable contributions of OPAY to Nigeria’s evolving financial ecosystem, particularly in areas of digital innovation, transaction security, and providing inclusive access to financial services.

Recognizing Outstanding Contributions

Amidst a competitive field of candidates, OPAY stood out for its unwavering commitment to bridging financial gaps. The company has successfully served tens of millions of Nigerians, particularly those who are unbanked or underbanked. A significant aspect of OPAY’s selection was its role in advancing Nigeria’s shift towards a cashless economy.

Innovations Enhancing User Confidence

OPAY has continually introduced cutting-edge features aimed at enhancing user confidence and securing transactions. Innovations such as the Transaction Shield offer increased protection for substantial payments, while the Nut Protector allows users to restrict account access during specified hours, complemented by facial recognition for added verification.

CEO’s Acceptance Speech

During his acceptance speech, Dauda Gotring, the Director General and CEO of OPAY, expressed gratitude for the esteemed recognition. “We are deeply honored to be recognized as the Fintech Company of the Year. This award reflects our vision of creating a secure, inclusive, and innovative financial ecosystem for all Nigerians. We dedicate this success to our loyal customers who inspire us to strive for excellence every day,” he stated.

Impact on the African Digital Payments Landscape

This recent accolade not only underscores OPAY’s pioneering efforts within Nigeria’s fintech landscape but also highlights its growing influence in transforming the digital payments sphere across Africa. The recognition speaks volumes about the potential of fintech solutions in shaping the future of financial transactions in the region.

About OPAY: A Leading Fintech Innovator

Founded in 2018, OPAY has rapidly established itself as a prominent name in Nigeria’s financial services sector. The company offers a wide range of digital solutions, including money transfers, airtime and data recharges, bill payments, card issuance, and market services. With a reputation for speed, reliability, and user-centered services, OPAY operates under a central license from the Central Bank of Nigeria and is insured by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), ensuring that users benefit from the same securities as traditional banks.
