OPay Denies Office Closure, Affirms Operational Status

OPay issued a statement clarifying that it has not closed its offices in Nigeria, specifically in Lagos and Abuja, countering reports that were deemed incorrect and misleading. The digital payment platform emphasized that it remains fully operational and continues to serve its customers and partners without disruption.

OPay highlighted its commitment to compliance with financial technology regulations and tax obligations, ensuring transparency in its operations. The company noted that the notice referencing the report arose from an industry-wide directive and was distinct from certain statutory charges applicable to various operators in the sector.

OPay asserted that the claims of its office shutdown do not reflect the true situation and are part of a broader misunderstanding affecting multiple operators in the industry. The company reaffirmed its dedication to supporting Nigeria's digital economy by providing secure and reliable financial services to millions of users nationwide.
