What Is Abeg App?

On the surface, Abeg seems to be a simple wallet to transfer and receive funds. However, upon closer inspection, you will find out that this is just the tip of the iceberg of functionalities that the Abeg app offers. The app can allow you to transfer and receive funds, request loans, do group savings (also known as Ajo), request funds from friends and family members with the use of Abeg tags, and so on.

Abeg app was built with the same concept as the popular cashapp which is a p2p (peer to peer) payment app targeted at Millenials in Nigeria. A simple look at the user interface shows that through a great user experience and the simplicity of the app, its target audience is the youths.

Who Are The Creators Of The App?

The Abeg mobile app was created and launched by Abeg technologies. The company is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Nigeria at the moment. Founded in September of 2020 by Muheez Akanni, Michael Okoh, and Dare Adekoya, the app has gone on to amass millions of users.

 One of the major factors that saw to its rise in popularity in recent months was their sponsorship of the Big Brother Naija Show Season 6. This alerted more Nigerians to the app and the host of useful features which it contains.

How The Abeg App Operates.

The Fintech industry in Nigeria is on the rise. As a result, there are lots of apps for sending and receiving money. However, the operations of all these fintech apps are similar, and often marred with performance issues. This is where the Abeg app shines, because, unlike the others, it’s simple, functional, fun, and intuitive. Its originality stems from the fact that it adds a social twist to sending and receiving money, which is the app’s major selling point.

With the Abeg app, a user can request money from their friends, family, loved ones, etc. To do this, you need to have their ID or Abeg tags as the company puts it. These tags enable you to request money from Abeg users on your contact list. All you need do is type in these tags, and your request for money will be sent to them.

Your bank details are not needed for this. However, for you to be able to use Abeg tags, your phone number needs to be linked with your BVN.

Abeg users also get badges when they send money to other users on the app. These badges are ‘thanks’, ‘lifesaver, ‘you’re a darling’, ‘money spender’, and ‘anon’.

The app also allows users to save in groups, using and digitizing the old model of group contribution savings, where a clique of friends can save money over a period of time and share the proceeds among themselves one after the other. This is an old concept popularly known as Ajo.

There are also talks that Abeg will soon allow people to access loans from the app in the future.

Is Abeg Safe To Use?

The question of whether the app is safe to use cannot easily be answered yes or no. Especially in an app like Abeg. First, I’ll give you the reasons I feel the app is safe to use, and you can draw your conclusions from there.

The Abeg app is a registered company, a BBN sponsor, and an app that has made a huge impact in the ways youths receive and send money to each other. However, from my research, there are no indications whatsoever that deposits on the app are insured by NDIC or other regulatory commissions.

This however shouldn’t put you off, because from all indications and their track record so far, Abeg app is here to stay.
