The company clarified that the charges are requirements from the government and not a source of revenue for the payment platform.
“It is important to note that OPay does not benefit from these charges in any way as it is directed entirely to the Federal Government,” the notice read.
The introduction of this fee follows the Federal government’s efforts to generate revenue from electronic transactions through FIRS regulations.
