What triggers random Opay Facial Verification? by Serendipity2023(op): 10:23pm On Jun 09, 2025
This Opay facial Verification is annoying and embarrassing because it could happen in on the road, at the market etc.

It could happen even with small amounts because I have experienced it before.

Does Palmpay do this random verification too?

What exactly causes it?

When making payments to a new account it can request for face verification to be sure if you're the one making the payment.

I don't think it's annoying, it's for your own good as they are protecting your account

I give them their flowers 💐,they have really shown what online banking is all about

We all should be glad we have this in this country. It's called liveness check and Opay is trying their best in your own interest to protect not just your funds, but your information you have with them from being exposed and all you could come up with are excuses and complaints.

Why not go back to UBA, Zenith, Ecobank and the rest of the native banks where you queue everyday to rectify lost or stolen funds.

Opay is the best thing that happened to an average banking Nigerian, even though they (native banks) are working tirelessly to bring them to their knees.

Appreciate enhanced security and support banks their staff won't steal or remove money from your account claiming you are dead.🙏

You said it all.
I'd rather turn my head upside every Eke market than to let some lazy scammer eat my sweat.
Opay is GOOD.

They've never asked me for verification.
Re: What triggers random Opay Facial Verification? by Grace201010(f): 7:17am On Jun 10, 2025
They usually ask for facial recognition if u have sent money more than usual that very day or u are sending a huge amount of money out at once.. to me it's for our own good..

I prefer Opay more than any bank at the moment
Re: What triggers random Opay Facial Verification? by Maj196(m): 7:24am On Jun 10, 2025
It's for extra security measures, especially when sending higher amounts. It's annoying and embarrassing sometimes though

For people saying it's due to amount or due to new beneficiary, I have experiences that indicate otherwise.
I did a trf of 1m from the opay to my uncle without the verification, next time I was going to do about 200k and it started asking me to turn left n right, in public o, was buying drinks for my in-law's wedding.

I agree with some of your points but how exactly are commercial (not native pls) banks working tirelessly to bring opay to their knees?
