OPay Denies Stopping the Use of Phone Numbers as Account Numbers

OPay has denied claims that it has stopped using customers’ phone numbers as account numbers or requires users to convert them to standard bank account numbers. The claim circulated on social media, urging customers to visit OPay agents for an account update. An OPay official told a news outlet that the information was inaccurate. The company said customers would be notified through its official channels if any major change is made to its account system. The clarification follows a separate false report alleging that OPay would shut down operations in September 2026.
