- Paytaq (Cardless Payments): Using the Paytaq feature, you can make in-store or ATM payments without a physical card.

5. Transaction Processing Rules
- Finality of Transactions: Once you authorize a transaction (by confirming details and entering your PIN), the transaction is processed and final. ViitPay cannot reverse a transaction upon your request except as required by law or network rules (e.g. clear system errors).
- Transaction Timing: Transactions are typically processed in real time. However, processing times may vary due to technical issues, network outages, banking hours, or other factors beyond ViitPay's control. ViitPay does not guarantee uninterrupted or instantaneous processing.
- Confirmation of Details: You must carefully verify all transaction details (such as recipient Account Number or mobile number and amount) before authorizing. ViitPay is not responsible for delays or failures caused by incorrect or incomplete payment instructions provided by you. In line with CBN guidelines, you are expected to confirm transaction details (e.g., recipient phone numbers, account details) prior to authorization.
- Fees and Charges: Any service fees, charges, or exchange rates will be disclosed to you at the time of the transaction or as published in the app. By initiating a transaction, you agree to pay the applicable fees.
- Limits and Restrictions: Transactions and balances may be subject to regulatory limits and internal risk limits (e.g. daily or per-transaction caps). You may not exceed your assigned transaction or withdrawal limits. If you attempt a transaction beyond permitted limits, ViitPay may decline it or require additional verification.
- Refunds and Reversals: If a transaction is reversed due to system error, fraud, or duplicate payment, ViitPay will correct it and notify you. If you sent money by mistake (e.g. wrong recipient), ViitPay is not obligated to recover funds but will cooperate with banks or authorities; any recovery is at our discretion.
6. Security and Fraud Protection
- User Responsibility: You must keep your Account information secure. Do not share your PIN, password, or Security Question answers with anyone. You are liable for all transactions made using your Account credentials. Protect your device from malware or unauthorized use.
- Monitoring and Reporting: ViitPay uses monitoring and fraud-detection tools to protect Accounts. We comply with regulations requiring prompt reporting of fraud cases and errors. If we suspect unauthorized activity or fraud on your Account, we may suspend or restrict Account access immediately.
- KYC and Identity Verification: By registering, you consent to ViitPay verifying your identity (including using your BVN or ID documents) and sharing information with authorized parties (e.g. CBN, banks, or law enforcement) for anti-fraud and AML/CFT (anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism) purposes.
- Data Security: We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures (such as encryption and secure servers) to protect your personal and financial data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no system is 100% secure; you agree that ViitPay is not liable for breaches beyond our reasonable control.
