What is MFA?


MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is a security measure mandated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to enhance the protection of your transactions.

By requiring an additional verification step beyond just your password, MFA helps ensure a more secure transaction environment, safeguarding your account and personal information during transfer transactions.

This extra layer of security is in place to provide you with peace of mind and prevent unauthorised access to your account.

My phone was stolen and I can't access my registered SIM card, how do I block my account?


If your phone is stolen and you don’t have access to your SIM, you can still block your Moniepoint accounts using another person's phone. Have a friend or family member with access to the Moniepoint USSD channel dial *5573*911#. They should select "Stop Debit Transactions" and choose the "For Others" option. They’ll then need to enter your phone number or account number. To complete the process, they’ll be prompted to provide your PIN (not theirs). Once verified, all your Moniepoint accounts—including business, personal, and business owner accounts—will be blocked.
