PalmPay, one of Nigeria’s leading digital banking platforms, has thrown its weight behind the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) during the 2025 Cybersecurity Awareness Walk held in Abuja.
The initiative was part of activities marking this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month themed “Secure Our World.”
The awareness walk brought together stakeholders from law enforcement agencies, regulatory institutions, and the private sector to promote public education on cybersecurity, financial fraud prevention, and safe online practices.
PalmPay joined other participants in advocating stronger public vigilance and safer digital engagement, reaffirming its commitment to supporting national efforts that enhance cybersecurity and consumer protection.
Speaking at the event, PalmPay’s Managing Director, Mr. Chika Reginald Nwosu, lauded the NPF-NCCC for its proactive fight against cybercrime and commitment to safeguarding consumers. He called for sustained collaboration between the public and private sectors to strengthen Nigeria’s digital ecosystem.
“We commend the NPF-NCCC for its leadership in driving cybersecurity awareness,” Nwosu said. “At PalmPay, we are committed to supporting initiatives that promote digital safety and foster trust in Nigeria’s growing digital economy.”
During the event, PalmPay was also recognised for its contributions toward regulatory engagement and consumer protection within the fintech industry.
The collaboration underscores PalmPay’s ongoing efforts to advance cybersecurity awareness, fraud prevention, and consumer protection as part of its mission to create a safer and more inclusive financial ecosystem in Nigeria.
PalmPay continues to drive financial inclusion and economic empowerment through its secure, user-friendly, and accessible digital financial services offering products ranging from mobile payments and savings to micro-insurance through its app and extensive mobile money agent network.
