PalmPay launches new security version following CBN directivePublished on December 15, 2023By Daily Post Staff 



Leading fintech company PalmPay has launched a new security in-app version that mandates all new users to input their BVN or NIN numbers before a wallet can be created.


The product launch is in response to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s recent directive on promoting financial system stability by strengthening the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure for customers.


Speaking on the upgrade, Chika Nwosu, Managing Director, PalmPay, welcomed the CBN directive on all existing and new users having BVN or NIN.


“We are committed to ensuring compliance and fostering a secure financial ecosystem”, Nwosu said.


“As a forward-thinking fintech platform, we believe that this measure will enhance the overall security of users’ wallets and the protection of users’ data while providing seamless financial services.


“Through various in-app activities, we have always encouraged our users to link their wallets with their BVN or NIN. We are fully aligned to drive the new directive.”


Operating under the Mobile Money Operator license, PalmPay’s wallet opening process requires that new users have to provide their NIN or BVN number.


Also, to limit incidents of impersonation, after the successful input of the NIN or BVN, users will be required to proceed to the face recognition process.


“In all of this, we believe this measure will reduce fraudulent activities and provide a safe banking environment for all,” Nwosu added.


“We encourage users to update their KYC information on the app to ensure compliance with the directive.”

Dear Students, Today’s unfortunate disruption of the SUG election stands as yet another reflection of the deeper issues facing not just our campus, but our nation at large. This is the real reason why the system of government in Nigeria keeps failing  because we continue to rely on an outdated system that cannot take us to the promised land. Sadly, this same flawed struture is still being practiced by the so-called Jagaban and his government, and now, the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are facing the consequences. No long talk. 🧢 Here is the Circular Letter and you need to know 👇 We must renew our mindset. We must rise above the broken foundation of the past if we truly want a better future. Believe me when I say: this is the very root of what it means to "govern" — and if we, the youth, do not fix it now, who will? If you’re demanding change as a student, then let us unite — as future Presidents, Governors, Generals, Kings 👑, and Queens 👑 of this great country 🇳🇬. United ...

Many of you visited me during my time in Kabba prison, and I deeply appreciate your kindness. The journey from Kabba to Abuja has given me a new perspective on the significance of this experience. For those who couldn’t visit in person, your messages and protests spoke volumes. Your voices sent a strong message, and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.
