Why PalmPay?

Never used PalmPay? Perhaps you’re a potential customer, wondering what the big deal about the app is, anyway. Why have 10M people in Nigeria downloaded it? Let’s tell you why. 

Firstly, PalmPay is 100% accredited to operate. The Central Bank of Nigeria has granted a license to this mobile money operator. So you can be assured that this is a no-scam zone — you are dealing with a legit digital money lender, not a “loan shark.”

Secondly, PalmPay guarantees the safety of your finances and the privacy of your data. PalmPay uses advanced technology to encrypt your personal and banking data. Recently, PalmPay was recognised for its high-level compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). Also, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation insures every deposit you make on PalmPay. 

Another reason customers love PalmPay is because of the numerous benefits they get, such as coupons, discounts on transactions, charge-free transfers, etc. Tuesdays and Fridays are happy hours on the PalmPay app — customers get a 20% discount on airtime purchases and a 10% discount on data purchases, respectively. The app interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate. 

Customers Reviews

“I started using PalmPay this year, and I can say it’s really good. It has some amazing features like Recharge2Cash, where you can sell airtime already on your registered phone number and get paid for it! I love how you can easily change your phone number and some other stuff too, when necessary. I would say PalmPay is a really nice app. The biometric authentication and patterns for logins are great too. I can even make payments by using fingerprint authentication, which I already set up.
