PRESS RELEASE: CBN awards OPay for financial inclusion innovation

OPay, Nigeria's leading financial institution has been recognized with the prestigious IFIC Award for Financial Inclusion Innovation by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This award was presented at the 2024 International Financial Inclusion Conference (IFIC), a flagship event that convened global thought leaders, regulators, and industry stakeholders to strategize on accelerating financial inclusion across Africa and beyond.

The award reinforces OPay’s compliance with regulatory standards and its pivotal role in advancing Nigeria’s financial inclusion goals, aligning with the CBN’s mission to achieve a 95% financial inclusion rate by 2024.
