How Does Opay Make Money Doing Free Transfers? by Goldmynemaniac: 11:45pm On Mar 18, 2023 |
Many people using Opay service are still scared of leaving substantial amounts in their accounts. One major reason is that they can't pinpoint the means via which the service makes profit. Second reason is that they worry that Opay doesn't have physical branches around like traditional banks. Users worry they won't know where to go to should they have issues. I know Opay is approved by CBN and insured by NDIC but are these enough to guarantee security of money saved with them? Please how does Opay make profit? 4 Likes |

To the best of my knowledge, opay is a portfolio business of the owners of opera, they're not concerned with immediate gains. They want a piece of the Nigerian market and they're getting it thereby pushing up the valuation of the company. The resale value is more than enough 14 Likes |

Even at this modern day technology people are still asking about physical branches. Okay let me ask you those whose money were wipped out by uba and access did they get their money back even upon all the drama caused at the branches? My advice donβt leave much money at the bank invest your funds because the cbn on the cashless policy mismanagement just proved to be clueless themselves. 9 Likes |

They are typical bank but wholly electronic in operation. If a thousand people deposit a million naira each, every depositor cannot pull out their money at same time or within short period. This gives the bank(OPay) the chance to loan out some of the money for interest and thus profit. Plus their infrastructure is adept at delivering reliable services already. They gave us Opera Mini long before OPay and it was secure as well as free. 3 Likes |

Goldmynemaniac:Opay doesnt have physical branches that require high maintainance na. They are online, so the bills associated with having lots of big buildings in every corner is eliminated. Then they are able to divert the money people deposited into better use. E.g investments Also, they have POS agents here and there. Those agents pay a fee for transactions. 1 Like |

Goldmynemaniac: I personally own an OPay (or Paycom Digital Services) machine. Anytime a customer makes a withdrawal i.e I insert the card in the machine and withdraw, for amounts below 5,000, Opay charges about N15 to N25, but I charge the customer N100. Now if you do the maths, you see that I make somewhere between N85 to N75... The N15 Opay makes on transactions like this looks small, but if you multiply that by the huge number of such transactions on a daily basis, herein lies your answer as to what they sell and how they make their money. And what Opay does is for long term, they are not in it for immediate profit... I know of POS machines who charge way higher. 12 Likes 1 Share |
