Steps to Change Your OPay Account Name

Step 1: Getting Started

Open your OPay app and log in to your account. Make sure you’re using the latest version of the app to avoid any problems.

Step 2: Going to Profile Settings

Tap on “Me” at the bottom of your screen. Then look for “Profile Settings” or “Account Information” – this is where you can manage your personal details.

Step 3: Requesting the Name Change

Find the “Change Name” option in your profile settings. Don’t panic if you don’t see it right away – sometimes it’s under “Personal Information” instead.

Step 4: Providing Your Documents

This is the most important part. You’ll need to:

1. Enter your new name exactly as it appears on your ID
2. Take clear photos of your ID card (front and back)
3. Write down why you’re changing your name

Step 5: Waiting for Approval

After sending your request, OPay’s team will review it. They usually take 2-3 business days to check everything and make sure it’s all correct.

What Happens After You Submit

During the review process, you can still use your OPay account normally. The team will send you messages through the app to let you know how things are going.

If Your Request is Approved

You’ll get a message saying your name has been changed. Your new name will show up in your account within 24 hours.

If Your Request is Rejected

Don’t worry – OPay will tell you why and what you can do to fix it. Usually, it’s something simple like:

• The photo of your ID was too blurry
• Your new name doesn’t match your ID
• You forgot to explain why you’re changing your name

Tips for a Successful Name Change

1. Make sure all your documents are clear and easy to read
2. Double-check your new name for spelling mistakes
3. Be honest about why you’re changing your name
4. Keep your app open to receive notifications

When to Contact OPay Support

Sometimes you might need extra help. Contact OPay support if:

• Your name change request is taking longer than 3 days
• You got rejected but don’t understand why
• The app isn’t letting you submit your request

Conclusion

Changing your name on OPay might seem tricky at first, but it’s actually pretty simple when you follow these steps. Just remember to have your ID ready, be patient during the review process, and make sure everything matches your official documents.
