EBANX has become the first global payments company to enable recurring payments through OPay Direct Debit in Nigeria, allowing global subscription businesses to access OPay's 40 million monthly active users. This expands alternative recurring payment options in Nigeria’s large digital payments market, where credit card penetration is low and digital wallets dominate.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Recurring payments just opened up for OPay’s 40 million Nigerian users, clearing a major barrier for subscription services in a market where credit cards are rare. If you handle payments or subscriptions in Africa, make sure you integrate OPay’s direct debit option now.
