Fraud Prevention
Fraudsters may try to trick you by pretending to be from Fingo, claiming your money is at risk and pressuring you to transfer it to a 'safe account.' Remember, we’ll never call you out of the blue or ask you to move your money. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and contact us directly through our official channels.
Your security is paramount. Stay cautious and protect your money.
Fraudsters often use phishing tactics to steal your information by sending suspicious links via email or text. Never accept or click on links from unknown or untrusted sources. Always verify the source before taking any action and ensure you are using the official Fingo app. By staying vigilant and cautious, you can protect your personal and financial information from scams.
Important tips to remember include: never share your PIN, password, or OTP with anyone, including those claiming to be from Fingo. If you're unsure about a communication, verify it through our app or website before responding. Trust your instincts and stay safe.
Your account and funds are held with Ecobank, a Tier 1 CBK-regulated entity with the highest security levels against fraud. Please also ensure that you do not share your PIN and that you protect your funds by setting up the security features available on the App.
You can contact us through our help chat in the Fingo app or emailing us to support@fingo.holdings and we will be able to close your account from there.
Please be prepared to provide some account information to verify your identity.

Fingo uses a fully digital verification process to create your account. Our verification uses a photo of your document(s) and a liveness check (selfie) to verify you. After you upload your document(s) we do a series of checks to ensure you are eligible to open a Fingo account. The first check we do is with the IPRS, the Kenyan government's database that holds all ID, Passport and Foreign ID information.
We use this check to verify that your document, name, and DOB are valid and recognized by the Kenyan government. The next check that we do is on the sanctions and PEP list check. We check your name against the CIA, FBI, Interpol, UN and other local and internationally recognized lists to ensure there are no sanctions linked to you. Due to Central Bank of Kenya regulations, any person on these lists is disallowed from opening an account, unless given special permission. The final check that we do is a liveness check. This check is in the form of a selfie video and checks for 2 things. The first part of the check is making sure your face matches the documents provided. The second part is to ensure you are alive and someone else is not trying to open an account on your behalf.
