As digital fraud continues to threaten financial security, Nigerians are increasingly relying on OPay’s NightGuard to protect their hard-earned money.

This innovative feature, which uses facial recognition technology, prevents unauthorised transactions during late-night hours, giving users peace of mind in an era of rising cybercrime and mobile theft.

One of the most recent success stories comes from Amaka, a working professional in Abuja, who almost became a victim of theft while returning home late from work. According to her, NightGuard was the difference between financial safety and devastating loss.

After a long day at work, she was on her way home when she was ambushed, and her phone was snatched. Fearing she had lost access to her life savings, she was relieved to discover that NightGuard had locked her account, preventing the criminals from making unauthorised withdrawals. “I would have been wiped out, but because my face is required for transactions at night, my money remained safe”, she said.

The growing number of fraud cases in Nigeria has made financial security a top priority for individuals and businesses alike. An entrepreneur, Chidi Okafor, shared how NightGuard has transformed his confidence in digital payments. “I used to be cautious about making transactions late at night, especially when I was tired. Now, I know that without my face, no one can touch my money,” he stated.

Similarly, university student Kemi Olayemi considers NightGuard a game-changer. “I handle a lot of transactions for school and personal use, and security has always been a concern. The fact that I need facial verification for late-night payments reassures me that my account is safe from fraudsters.”

Beyond personal safety, NightGuard gives users control over their security preferences, allowing them to set specific activation times. The facial recognition process is seamless and ensures that only the rightful account owner can approve transactions, even if their phone is stolen or compromised.

Chief commercial officer at OPay, Elizabeth Wang, highlights the company’s commitment to user protection, adding that, “At OPay, we’re committed to providing secure and reliable financial services. With NightGuard, we’ve taken proactive steps to ensure that our users are protected during the most vulnerable hours. The feature’s integration of facial recognition technology offers an added layer of trust and security”.

Trusted by tens of millions of users, OPay’s NightGuard feature has become an indispensable tool in combating the rising threat of fraud.

The security technology ensures that users’ accounts are fully protected against unauthorised access, even during late-night hours, when many are more susceptible to attacks.

 

OPay’s focus on user safety and security is evident in the positive feedback from users like Amaka, Chidi, and Kemi, who now rely on NightGuard to protect their finances and ensure the integrity of their transactions.
