OPay launches NIGHT GUARD security feature for all users - SEE HOW IT'S WORKS & SET UP GUIDE

OPay has launched a Nightguard tool, the first of its kind in the financial industry, substantially empowers consumers by ensuring their funds are protected.

One of the concerns of the Fintech companies as a whole as expressed by many consumers, is security, with traditional security features such as two-factor authentication and PINs serving as major safeguards.

Previously, financial companies used two-factor authentication with short USSD strings and OTPs.

However, an increase in authorized financial activity and fraud has forced the need for a stronger layer of protection, and OPay is leading the way with new and creative features.

OPay Nightguard assists users in securing their accounts during the hours when they are most vulnerable—while they sleep and during certain personal lifestyle periods such as late night out, evening social gatherings and so much more.

The Nightguard feature allows users to specify a timeframe between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. during which all transfer attempts require increased identity verification.

Transfers initiated during this interval must pass facial recognition.

This means that users can prevent illegal access to their accounts and funds at night, giving unsurpassed security and peace of mind.

According to Mr. Dauda Gotring, CEO of OPay Nigeria, the Nightguard function represents a significant advancement in Nigeria's mobile payment scene, providing consumers with a strong tool to secure their financial transactions.

As Nigeria's Fintech industry leader, OPay is devoted to giving its consumers complete control over their finances.

The success of the Nightguard feature demonstrates OPay's commitment to client security and satisfaction. These features are unique to the OPay App and give users compelling reasons to download and use the platform.

For the general population, who are particularly concerned about phone hacking and the security of their funds, Nightguard provides a compelling benefit: the ability to configure the function and sleep soundly knowing their finances are secure.
