Some bank customers said they still prefer the use of Fintech companies like OPay, PalmPay and others for their electronic transactions in spite of fraud allegations against the companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the customers who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday, described the platforms as reliable, fast and cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miss Peace Samuel, a tomato seller, said she opened an account with OPay during the cash crunch to facilitate her electronic transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the online banking platforms had not failed her since she opened it, \u201cmany of my customers still do online transactions and I receive my alerts immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough, anytime I give customers my account details for my Deposit Money Bank (DMB) to transfer money to me, I might not receive the alert immediately and sometimes, the money will not come at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not know what people are saying about fraud but one thing I know is that I have never experienced such before,\u2019\u2019 Samuel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another customer, Mr Elvis Abdu, said PalmPay was cheaper than other DMBs adding that their complaints resolution mechanism was also reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had issues with PalmPay sometimes and immediately I called them, my money was sent back to my account almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is unlike most banks where you have to take number to enter, fill form and at the end, the money won\u2019t be returned immediately,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another customer, Mr Chris Idu, said he opened an account with OPay during the cash crunch, but that he was careful in his dealings with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAN reports that there are viral videos which showed how some youths were using the companies to defraud their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAN also reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had described as fake, the news making the rounds that it suspended accounts of OPay and PalmPay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBN Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Isa AbdulMumin, had on Friday told NAN that the viral news \u201cis simply fake\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viral news credited to AbdulMumin, claimed CBN was about to suspend accounts of the Fintech companies because they were being used to perpetrate fraud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
