The allocation of responsibilities between Unifina and its partners depends on the relevant processing activity and applicable contractual arrangements.
You may contact us using the information above for privacy-related enquiries, requests or complaints.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using an available consent-management control.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing undertaken before withdrawal.
Where information is processed under another lawful basis, withdrawal of consent does not necessarily require that processing to cease.
We do not treat your mere use of our website, provision of personal data or acknowledgement of this Privacy Policy as blanket consent for every processing activity described in this Policy.
3. What Personal Data Do We Collect?
The categories of personal data collected depend on your interactions with Unifina, the services you request and the verification requirements applicable to your account.
3.1 Personal Identification Information
During registration and account administration, we collect information such as:
- First name.
- Middle name, where applicable.
- Last name.

Where promotional communications require consent, they will be handled separately from essential operational and security communications.
3.4 Identity Verification Information
Unifina collects information required for customer identification and verification.
Depending on the applicable onboarding or account upgrade requirements, this includes:
- National Identification Number (NIN).
- Bank Verification Number (BVN).
- Information returned from authorised identity verification processes.
- Customer verification status.
- Verification reference numbers.

Unifina uses QoreID to facilitate identity verification processes, including NIN and BVN verification.
Information submitted for verification is transmitted to QoreID as necessary for the relevant verification request.
We may receive verification results or related information from QoreID and use those results to determine whether the relevant identity verification requirements have been satisfied.
Relevant customer identification information is also transmitted to 9PSB for account creation, account upgrades and associated customer due diligence processes.
3.5 Facial Images and Liveness Verification
As part of the identity verification process, Unifina collects facial photographs or images captured during a liveness verification session.
These images are used to support identity verification, confirm that the verification process involves a live person and help prevent impersonation or fraudulent account creation.
Liveness verification information is transmitted to QoreID for the relevant verification process.
Relevant images, verification results and associated information may also be provided to 9PSB where required for account creation, customer verification or account upgrades.
Unifina stores the facial and liveness images collected through its onboarding process in encrypted form on its backend systems.
Facial images and liveness verification information may constitute sensitive personal data, including biometric data, where processed through technical means for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual.
Such information is subject to applicable requirements concerning sensitive personal data.
Unifina does not use fingerprint authentication as a method of logging into its application.
The collection of facial images for identity verification is distinct from fingerprint-based account authentication.
We limit the use of liveness verification information to relevant identification, verification, security, fraud prevention and legally required purposes.
3.6 Customer Signature
Where required during customer verification or account upgrades, we collect an electronic signature provided through the application.
The signature may be used to satisfy relevant account documentation or verification requirements.
Where necessary, the signature is transmitted to 9PSB for the applicable account-related process.
Unifina stores collected signatures in encrypted form within its backend systems.
We do not use customer signatures for unrelated purposes.
3.7 Politically Exposed Person Declaration
During onboarding or customer due diligence, Unifina may request information about whether you are a politically exposed person (PEP).
This information is collected to support applicable financial crime prevention and customer due diligence requirements.
We may share relevant declarations and verification information with 9PSB and authorised verification providers where required for these purposes.

Customers are responsible for keeping their account credentials and transaction PINs confidential.
You should not disclose your PIN or one-time verification codes to unauthorised persons.
9. Personal Data Retention
Unifina Limited retains personal data only for as long as necessary to provide its services, fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected and comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
We observe the principles of data minimisation and storage limitation under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, and the Nigeria Data Protection Act General Application and Implementation Directive, 2025.
Our retention practices distinguish between information necessary to maintain an active customer account, records that must be preserved under applicable financial regulations and personal data that is no longer required.
Under Section 8 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, relevant financial institutions are generally required to preserve transaction records for at least five (5) years following completion of the transaction and customer identification and account-related records for at least five (5) years following termination of the business relationship.
Unifina adopts these applicable statutory periods as the basis for retaining legally required financial and customer identification records, subject to the requirements applicable to its services and financial infrastructure arrangements.
9.1 Customer Identification and KYC Records
Customer identification and verification records, including NIN, BVN, residential address information, verification results and other relevant customer due diligence information, are collected and processed for identity verification, account creation, account upgrades and compliance with applicable financial services requirements.
Where these records are subject to the recordkeeping obligations under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, they will generally be retained for at least five (5) years following termination of the customer relationship.
During this period, retained records will be protected against unauthorised access and processed only for purposes permitted by applicable law.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, the records will be securely deleted.
9.2 Transaction Records
Financial transaction records, including transaction amounts, dates, references, beneficiary details and relevant account activity, are retained to satisfy applicable financial recordkeeping and regulatory obligations.
Under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, relevant transaction records must generally be preserved for five (5) years following completion of the transaction.
This period is calculated from the date of the relevant transaction and does not necessarily begin on the date of account closure.
Transaction records will be securely deleted when the applicable retention period has expired and no other lawful obligation requires their continued preservation.
9.3 Facial Images, Liveness Records and Signatures
Facial images, liveness verification information and electronic signatures collected during onboarding or account upgrades are processed for identity verification, account creation, account upgrades and applicable regulatory compliance.
Unifina may retain such information, for the applicable statutory period, generally five (5) years following termination of the customer relationship.
9.4 Account and Contact Information
Personal identification details, residential addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers and other account administration information are retained while necessary to maintain and operate an active Unifina account.
When a customer closes their account, Unifina will discontinue processing information that is no longer necessary for the provision of services or another lawful purpose.
Information that is not subject to a legal retention requirement will be securely deleted without undue delay.
Information forming part of legally required customer identification or financial records may be retained for the applicable statutory period, generally five (5) years following termination of the customer relationship.
9.5 Account Closure and Permanent Deletion
When a customer requests account closure, Unifina will process the request in accordance with applicable account closure procedures.
Once account closure is completed, the customer's access to the closed account will be discontinued.
Personal data that is no longer necessary for an identified lawful purpose will be securely deleted without undue delay.
However, account closure does not automatically require immediate deletion of customer identification or financial transaction records that must be preserved under applicable law.
Such records will be retained only for the legally required period and will not be used for unrelated purposes.
Following expiry of the applicable retention period, Unifina will securely delete the relevant personal data.
Deletion will be carried out using appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to prevent unauthorised recovery or reconstruction of the information.
This includes personal data held in production systems and applicable backup environments, subject to secure deletion procedures and the relevant backup retention cycles.

Account Closure and Deletion Requests
Where you request closure of your Unifina account, we will process the account closure in accordance with applicable financial services, security and regulatory requirements.
Following account closure, we will discontinue processing personal data for purposes that are no longer necessary.

Retention of Legally Required Records
Certain customer identification, KYC, account and financial transaction records may be required to be retained following account closure.
Under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, relevant customer identification and account records are generally required to be retained for at least five (5) years following termination of the customer relationship, while relevant transaction records are generally retained for at least five (5) years following completion of the transaction.
Where these obligations apply, Unifina will retain the necessary records for the applicable statutory period.
During that period, retained information will be protected and processed only for purposes permitted by law.
Deletion Following the Retention Period
Once the applicable legal retention period expires, Unifina will securely delete the relevant personal data unless a specific legal or regulatory obligation requires its continued preservation.
Where continued retention is legally required, the information will be retained only for the duration and purposes of that requirement.
When the applicable obligation ends, the information will be securely deleted without requiring the customer to submit another deletion request.
Communication of Deletion Requests
