Security at Zeno

We take the security of your money and personal data seriously. Here's exactly how we protect you.

How we protect your money

๐Ÿ”

PIN-Protected Transactions

Every payment requires your 4-digit PIN. Your PIN is hashed using bcrypt โ€” even we cannot see it. After 3 incorrect attempts, your account is automatically locked for 24 hours.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

256-bit TLS Encryption

All data transmitted between your WhatsApp or Telegram, our servers, and your bank is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3. Your data is unreadable in transit.

๐Ÿฆ

Open Banking โ€” Read Only

We connect to your Nigerian bank via Mono Open Banking. This gives us read-only access to your balance and transactions. We cannot move money without your explicit instruction and PIN.

๐Ÿชช

Identity Verification

Every Zeno user completes KYC verification via Stripe Identity. We verify your government-issued ID (NIN, passport or driving licence) and perform a liveness check to prevent fraud.

โ„๏ธ

Instant Account Freeze

If your phone is lost or stolen, you can freeze your Zeno account instantly by messaging our support team. All payment activity stops immediately.

๐Ÿ”

Transaction Monitoring

We monitor transactions in real time for unusual patterns. Suspicious activity triggers automatic alerts and may result in temporary holds for your protection.

What happens when you make a payment

1

You request a payment

You send a natural language message to Zeno, e.g. "Send โ‚ฆ5,000 to Emeka".

2

Zeno confirms the details

We show you a summary of the transfer โ€” recipient name, account number, bank, and amount โ€” before anything happens.

3

You enter your PIN

You must enter your 4-digit PIN to authorise the payment. No PIN, no payment.

4

Payment is processed

Only after PIN confirmation do we submit the payment via Flutterwave. You receive a confirmation with a transaction ID.

5

You get a receipt

We send you a full transaction receipt including the new balance and a unique transaction reference.
