Sort Code for OPay: Everything You Need To Know

OPay sort code

Talking about OPAY's sort code in Nigeria; just like the way people are looking for its Swift code, they are not available. Normally, a sort code is used primarily in the United Kingdom (UK) and Republic of Ireland.

Traditionally, sort code is used to identify bank branch where your account was opened. The first two digits typically indicate the bank, and the last four digits specify the branch. Sort code is essential for routing money transfers between accounts. It ensures the funds reach the designated bank and branch.

However, OPay doesn't possess a sort code. The fintech is licenced by CBN as a mobile money operator in Nigeria. OPay is not currently operating in the UK and Ireland, so it does not offer a sort code. The fintech primarily uses Nigeria banking system to offer banking services to its customers.
