Bankit, a top-tier Nigerian digital bank and fintech platform championing financial inclusion, has introduced a new device-verification system aimed at enhancing user account security. The feature requires customers to authenticate any new or unrecognized device before accessing their accounts, setting a new benchmark for digital safety in Nigeria’s rapidly growing fintech space.
Speaking at Thursday’s launch, Temidayo Ajisebutu, Product Strategist at Bankit, affirmed the firm’s commitment to building one of Africa’s most secure and trustworthy digital banking platforms.
“As Nigeria’s trusted digital banking partner, security sits at the core of our mission,” Ajisebutu stated. “Introducing verification for unrecognized devices ensures that only rightful owners access their Bankit accounts. We are committed to building one of the most secure and reliable digital banking platforms in Africa.”
The new feature works through a secure multi-factor verification process: if a login attempt is made from an unfamiliar device, access is denied until a verification code is confirmed. This means that even if a device is stolen or compromised, users can rest assured that their accounts, wallets, and personal information are protected.
This initiative builds on Bankit’s existing robust security framework, which includes real-time fraud monitoring, NDIC-compliant deposit protection, end-to-end encryption, biometric login options, and unlimited free transfers backed by highly secure infrastructure.
“As cyber threats rise globally, Bankit continues to invest in world-class security systems that protect users’ funds and personal data,” Ajisebutu added.
“Our goal is to make digital banking both simple and safe for everyone—from students and SMEs to traders and digital entrepreneurs.”
Bankit has positioned itself as a user-centered digital banking platform, offering seamless transfers, private wallet-to-wallet payments, savings features, and unlimited free digital transactions. With its latest security enhancement, Bankit is redefining mobile banking and everyday payments for millions of Nigerians who want convenience without compromising safety.
