OPay Denies Office Closure, Affirms Compliance with Tax Laws

OPay has issued a statement denying claims circulating on social media that its offices in Lagos and Abuja have been sealed by the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) due to alleged non-compliance with tax obligations. The company clarified that the NRS notice affects the entire fintech industry and not just OPay.

It emphasized that all its offices across Nigeria remain fully operational, continuing to serve customers, partners, and merchants without disruption. OPay criticized the reports as misleading and factually incorrect, stating that they appear to undermine the company's reputation by focusing on a single entity rather than addressing broader industry concerns.

The company reaffirmed its commitment to compliance with regulatory requirements and transparency, working closely with relevant government agencies. OPay aims to support Nigeria's digital economy and provide secure, reliable financial services to millions of users nationwide.
