This person must have used all his numbers to register an OPay and he’s been swept out of SIM options, so he’s looking for ways to bypass OPay registration requirements such as using Email.
Meanwhile, that been said. In this article, I will try to answer possible question about OPay Account Opening in Nigeria. Let’s dive in.
OPay Account Opening Requirements
To open OPay Account in Nigeria, here are documents needed:
- Your Bank Verification Number (BVN).

- OPay Mobile App. It’s available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store for iOS Users.
Most of it all, your BVN, NIN or Phone Number must not be attached to any other OPay Account. More so, ensure you provide accurate information to avoid problem after account creation.
Opening OPay Account with Phone Number
Opening OPay Account with phone number is the normal procedure to create an account with the fintech firm. You can simply download the OPay App on apps stores and use your number to register an account.
You can also visit the OPay Nigeria official website to register an account with your phone number. However, make sure the number you’re using has not been used to open another OPay Account.
Opening OPay Account without Phone Number
I’m afraid that you cannot register, create or open an OPay Account without a valid phone number. All OPay Accounts re opened with a phone number.
So, erase that mindset of creating an OPay Account without Phone Number from your mind. However, if you need a new OPay Account, you can always get a new SIM card but your BVN and NIN will not be attached if you’ve already used them on another OPay Account.
Opening OPay Account on Phone
Yes, you can open OPay Account on Phone. To do that, simply open the app store of your phone. Search for “OPay App” using the search bar. Download and install the app.
Once the app is successfully installed, open it and begin your account registration. Your phone number and otp code to the number will be required at first step. After that, you will be proceeded to personal information such as full name, date of birth and other submission.
After that, you will be required to complete your Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification. Your BVN, NIN or any other means of identification will be required.
Once you’re done with that, you can upgrade your limits (to Tier 3) simply by proofing your residential address. Your Nepa Bill, Bank Statement or any other utilities bills that carries your full legal names as it’s written on the OPay Account will be required.
Once all these processes are completed, your OPay is now active and ready to receive unlimited amount. You will be able to transfer N5,000,000 per day. This limit is placed due to security reasons.
However, if you want all your transactions on the OPay App to be unlimited, you will need to upgrade to “Merchant Account,” where you will be required to sign an indemnity form. I hope you know what that means?
