OPay, Nigeria’s leading financial technology company, has once again distinguished itself by winning Fintech Company of the Year and Best Fintech in Cybersecurity at the 9th Tech Innovation Awards.

The prestigious event, held on November 29, 2025, at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, brought together key industry players and innovators driving Nigeria’s digital transformation.

Expressing gratitude for the recognitions, Chukwudinma Okafor, OPay’s Chief Compliance Officer, said: “These awards reflect our unwavering dedication to excellence and user security. Every solution we develop—from secure payment systems to advanced compliance protocols—is built to give millions of Nigerians the confidence to transact safely. This honour belongs to our hardworking team and to our users, who continuously motivate us to push the boundaries of fintech innovation.”

Emphasizing the company’s strong security-focused culture, Elizabeth Wang, Chief Commercial Officer, added: “We are incredibly proud to receive both Fintech Company of the Year and Best Fintech in Cybersecurity at the 9th Tech Innovation Awards, two recognitions that highlights our dedication to security and user protection.

“At OPay, we believe that equipping users with the knowledge and advanced tools is essential to building trust and promoting financial inclusion. This was demonstrated through our OPaySecurityVoteCampaign some months ago, a dynamic social media initiative that educated users on our in-app security features.

“The campaign has helped millions of Nigerians understand how to protect their accounts and transact safely, reinforcing that security is central to everything we do. Hence, these awards recognize not only our leadership in fintech, but also our commitment to keeping every transaction secure and our customers confident in their financial journey.”
