OPay may have built a secure system to protect its customers. However, scenarios, where the customer’s phone gets stolen, can reduce the efficacy of the majority of the steps OPay has put in place, especially when you consider that OPay doesn’t ask for your login details every time you open the application.
The lapse discussed in the first paragraph isn’t really total, as there is also another system enlightened OPay users can employ to cut off debits when the phone bearing their Opay account gets stolen and this system will be discussed in this article on how to block Opay account when phone is stolen.
