PalmPay Limited on Wednesday rolled out an anti-fraud campaign in Kano as part of efforts to curb the rising cases of digital scams targeting users of its platform.
Speaking during the launch, the Managing Director of the fintech firm, Chika Reginald-Nwosu, said the initiative was aimed at strengthening the company’s security measures while boosting public confidence in digital transactions.
He said the company remained committed to protecting its customers from fraudulent activities. “PalmPay is committed to eliminating fraud on its platform and working to bring the incidence of fraud to zero level,” he said.
Reginald-Nwosu urged users to be cautious when opening web links shared through social media or phone messages, adding that any suspicious communication should be verified before clicking. He also warned customers against disclosing personal details to unknown individuals.
According to him, the company has issued more than two million ATM cards, which can be used at commercial bank ATMs across the country.
The anti-fraud campaign includes an awareness walk across some of Kano’s major routes—Murtala Muhammad Way, Bata, Court Road, Ibrahim Taiwo Road and the Civic Centre—aimed at sensitising residents to the dangers of digital fraud and promoting safer online payment practices.
