In the same vein, payment used to be a major challenge for Mrs Jemila Owolabi, a textile merchant at the famous Balogun market. She recalled how a major business deal was delayed for weeks due to payment issues, which affected her margin.

She said that it was at that point that someone introduced her to OPay,” I was reluctant at the beginning because I thought they would have issues too. But when I did my first OPay transaction it was super fast. Since then I have been a raving fan of the platform.

“OPay has become my first choice for fast and easy payment. And in this business speed is of the essence, because it means you can buy more and sell more within a given time frame,” she said.

Mrs. Owolabi recalls how she has brought a number of her colleagues and clients to OPay. Everyone wants a reliable and decent bank, so it was easy to refer people to join OPay.

The good thing about being able to scale is the job creation opportunities that come with it. As more Nigerian merchants continue to embrace OPay for their payment needs, there is a chance that the country will begin to see a drop in its unemployment figure.
