Expansion brings financial services and dedicated support closer to customers and businesses across Kano and surrounding communities.

OPay, Nigeria’s leading digital bank, has opened a new office in Kano State, strengthening its presence in Nigeria and bringing its financial services and customer support closer to individuals, businesses and communities across the state.

With Kano serving as an important centre for trade, commerce and businesses in Northern Nigeria, the new office will help OPay better understand and respond to the needs of people and businesses in the region. It will also strengthen engagement with local merchants and business owners, helping them access the digital payment solutions they need to serve their customers and manage their daily transactions more easily.

Speaking at the opening, Ifeoma Mba, Chief People Officer, OPay, said:

“Our commitment is to be closer to the people and communities we serve. Opening this office in Kano means more customers and businesses can access the support they need, while giving us a better opportunity to understand their needs. We are proud to continue investing in Nigeria and supporting more people and businesses through accessible digital financial services.”
