Welcome to OPay!

These Products may include pre-paid electricity or water provided by local utilities, pre-paid airtime offered by mobile telecommunications companies, or other selected digital services offered by merchants. You may also use the Service to facilitate the transfer of credit from your mobile money wallet or account to the wallet or account of another user, or receive credit from other users. The Service is operated by Paycom Nigeria Limited (“OPay”), subject to these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
