The new office, located on Hadeja Road by YankabaMarket, is part of OPay’s continued investment in Nigeria and its commitment to making financial services more accessible, affordable, convenient, safe, and reliable for Nigerians. It will serve as a support hub for customers, merchants and business partners, providing a closer point of contact for assistance, business engagement and service-related needs.
