Digital payment platform OPay has refuted a viral notice claiming it plans to suspend operations and take an indefinite break starting September 1, 2026. The misleading document, titled “Official Note,” advised users to withdraw their funds urgently to prevent inconvenience. OPay's Head of Corporate Communications, Folayemi Joshua, called the notice entirely false and urged customers to disregard the misleading information.
The company stressed its full operational status and assured customers that their funds remain safe and accessible. OPay highlighted inaccuracies in the circulating flyer, such as the use of an outdated logo, misspelling of the brand name, and a layout inconsistent with the company's official design. The company reaffirmed its commitment to providing uninterrupted financial services and advised the public to rely on official communication channels for accurate updates.
An anonymous OPay staff member also debunked the news, stating that the company is not shutting down and remains committed to its operations.
