OPay operates a mobile-payment and digital-finance platform in Nigeria. In 2026, the company disclosed that its risk-control system uses machine learning, behavioral analytics, and facial verification: high-risk behaviors such as large transfers, new devices/unfamiliar locations, and unusual transaction times trigger additional verification, while Anti-Scam Shield identifies and blocks suspicious transfers before funds leave the network.
