Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 18, 2026

Last Updated: September 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Billremit, operated by Billremit Tech Solutions ("Billremit", "we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares information when you use the Billremit mobile application and related services.

By using Billremit, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. About Billremit

Billremit is a bill payment app that provides users with convenient access to services that may include airtime, mobile data, electricity bills, cable television subscriptions, examination PINs, wallet funding, referrals, rewards, and other services made available through the application.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that is necessary to create and maintain your account, provide our services, process transactions, secure your account, provide customer support, and comply with applicable requirements.

2.1 Account and Contact Information

Depending on how you use Billremit, we may collect:

  • Full name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Account login and authentication information
  • Information you provide when contacting customer support
  • Information associated with your Billremit account

We use this information to create and manage your account, authenticate you, communicate with you, provide customer support, and operate our services.

2.2 Transaction and Payment Information

When you fund your Billremit wallet or purchase a service, we may process information relating to the transaction, including:

  • Transaction amount
  • Transaction reference or identification number
  • Transaction date and time
  • Service purchased
  • Recipient/service details necessary to complete the transaction
  • Wallet balance and wallet transaction history
  • Payment status and transaction status
  • Information supplied by payment or service providers to confirm a transaction

Payments and wallet funding may be processed through third-party payment and financial service providers. We may share the information necessary to process and confirm a transaction with the relevant provider.

We do not need access to your full bank-card credentials when those credentials are handled directly by an external payment provider.

2.3 Identity Verification Information

Certain Billremit services, including the creation or activation of a dedicated virtual account through a third-party financial service provider, may require identity information.

Where required by the relevant service provider, we may request information such as:

  • Full name
  • Phone number
  • Bank Verification Number (BVN)
  • National Identification Number (NIN), where applicable
  • Other information required by the relevant payment or financial service provider

Where such information is required for a third-party service, the information may be transmitted to the relevant provider for the purpose of verification, account creation, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, or provision of the requested service.

Billremit does not use BVN or NIN for advertising or unrelated purposes.

Where a third-party provider processes identity information on our behalf, that provider may have its own privacy policy and legal obligations governing its processing of the information.

2.4 Contacts

If you choose to use a feature that allows you to select a recipient from your device contacts, Billremit may request permission to access your contacts.

Contacts access is used to help you select a phone number when purchasing supported services such as airtime or mobile data.

Billremit does not require access to your contacts for the general operation of your account, and you can deny this permission. Denying contact permission may prevent you from using features that specifically require contact selection.

We do not sell your contacts or use your contact list for advertising.

2.5 Device and Technical Information

We may automatically receive limited technical information necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the application. Depending on the configuration of the application and its third-party services, this may include:

  • Device type and model
  • Operating system and version
  • Application version
  • Device or installation-related identifiers
  • IP address
  • Network information
  • Crash and diagnostic information
  • Basic information about how the application is functioning

We use technical information for purposes such as security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, service reliability, and improving the application.

We do not use persistent device identifiers for purposes prohibited by Google Play policies.

2.6 Push Notifications

If you enable notifications, Billremit may use a push-notification service to send information such as:

  • Transaction updates
  • Wallet and payment notifications
  • Security notifications
  • Service announcements
  • Important account information
  • Promotional or rewards-related notifications, where applicable

You can control notification permissions through your device settings.

2.7 Analytics and Diagnostics

Where analytics or diagnostic services are enabled in the Billremit application, we may collect information about application performance and usage, such as:

  • Application events
  • Feature usage
  • Crash information
  • Diagnostic information
  • Device and application information

This information helps us understand application performance, identify problems, improve reliability, and improve the user experience.

Where third-party analytics or diagnostic services are used, their processing may also be subject to their respective privacy policies.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information when necessary to provide the services you request or operate Billremit, including with:

Payment and Financial Service Providers

We may share relevant information with payment processors, financial institutions, virtual-account providers, or other financial service providers to process wallet funding, payments, account creation, identity verification, transaction confirmation, fraud prevention, or related services.

Bill Payment and Service Providers

To complete a transaction you initiate, we may transmit information such as a phone number, meter/account number, smartcard number, service identifier, plan identifier, or other required transaction information to the relevant service provider or authorized intermediary.

Technology and Infrastructure Providers

We may use third-party providers for services such as hosting, application infrastructure, security, analytics, notifications, transaction processing, or technical support. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide the services for which they are engaged and subject to applicable contractual or legal requirements.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

If Billremit or substantially all of its assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

5. Third-Party Services

Billremit may rely on third-party service providers to provide certain functionality.

These providers may process information on our behalf or directly as part of the service they provide. Examples may include payment processors, financial service providers, bill-payment providers, hosting providers, analytics services, notification services, and security services.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage users to review the privacy information provided by third-party services when applicable.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include:

  • Transaction security measures
  • Monitoring for suspicious or unauthorized activity
  • Secure handling of account and transaction information
  • Limiting access to information to authorized personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate purposes

No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide our services
  • Maintain your account
  • Complete and document transactions
  • Meet legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, and security requirements
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce our agreements
  • Protect our rights and the security of our services

When information is no longer required for these purposes, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Some transaction or financial records may need to be retained for a longer period where required by law or by legitimate regulatory, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution requirements.
