Why OPay Alerts Are Important

Whenever money enters or leaves your bank account, it is very important to receive an alert. These alerts help you to:

• Know when money enters your account
• Confirm successful transfers
• Detect unauthorised transactions early
• Track your daily financial activities

With OPay alerts, you stay informed and in control of your money at all times.

Does OPay Send Alerts?

Once activated, you will receive alerts for:

• Card transactions
• Withdrawals
• Other important account activities

There may be a small fee for SMS alerts, depending on your settings.
