In another trending development, digital finance is rapidly reshaping how Nigerians make, save, and grow their money. From fintech apps like PalmPay and Opay to online trading platforms and even hustle groups on WhatsApp and Telegram, people are finding more ways to earn — but not without risks.

Trading platforms like Binance or Deriv used for forex, crypto, and binary options.

Peer-to-peer lending and savings via apps like PiggyVest and Cowrywise.

Ponzi-like platforms disguised as legit earning apps are on the rise.

Users are often unaware of data privacy issues and scams.
