Earlier, Legit.ng reported that OPay and Palmpay have announced key changes to how customers get verified on their platforms.
The two digital banking platforms made the changes in response to reports of loopholes exploited by fraudsters when opening accounts.
For Opay, there are changes in the identification method of securing bank accounts during the onboarding process.
PalmPay sets date to freeze users' accounts
Legit.ng earlier reported that PalmPay asked its customers to link their accounts to their National Identification Number (NIN) before January 31, 2024, or have them frozen.
The company said the move aligned with the recent directives of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for banks and financial institutions to validate customers' accounts with Bank Verification Number (BVN) and NIN.
PalmPay said it had launched a new onboarding flow on its app, mandating customers to validate their NIN or BVN or their accounts would be frozen.
