OPay Limited announced October 30 that its American depositary shares were commencing trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol OPAY.

The listing brings the emerging-markets financial platform to U.S. public markets, according to the company’s announcement. OPay launched in Nigeria in 2018 and says it now serves more than 50 million users across Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia.

The company described a business extending beyond payments and transfers into savings, credit and merchant services. Those service categories and its reported user count describe OPay’s own account of its operations; the announcement does not provide a country-by-country customer breakdown.

Chief financial officer James Perry said OPay reached a $1 billion revenue run rate in the second quarter of 2026. A run rate is a measure extrapolated from a period’s activity, rather than a statement that the company had already earned $1 billion in full-year revenue.

Perry also reported 137% year-over-year growth for the first six months of 2026 and a 19% net margin. These are company-reported financial measures in the listing announcement, not a separate assessment of the shares’ value.

OPay said it intends to invest listing proceeds in technology and growth in Nigeria and other African markets. The release did not provide the offering price, proceeds total or a first-day trading result.

This account is limited to the company’s announcement of its U.S. market debut and stated operating figures. It does not establish how the shares performed after trading began.
