Oh, dear, I understand how frustrating it can be when your money seems to disappear during a transaction. Let’s see how we can sort this out step by step:
Simple Explanation:
When you made a transfer from your Opay account to the Investnaija App via Paystack, your money was initially deducted but then got reversed back to your Opay account, not the Investnaija App.
How it Works:
The reversal of funds means the amount you paid was returned to your original account due to an issue during the transaction process.
Benefits:
The benefit here is that the system recognized the error and automatically returned your money to avoid any losses on your end.
Risks:
The risk is that sometimes these reversals can take a bit of time to reflect in your account, causing inconvenience and worry.
Real-life Nigerian Example:
It’s like when you give someone money to buy something for you at the market, but they realize they can’t get what you asked for, so they return the money to you later.
Common Mistakes:
One common mistake people make is panicking and thinking they’ve lost their money forever without giving the system enough time to sort out the issue.
Practical Steps to Get Started:
1. Check your Opay wallet again after some time to see if the reversed funds have been deposited.
2. If the money still hasn’t shown up after a while, reach out to Opay customer support for assistance. 3. Provide them with all the necessary transaction details so they can investigate and help you retrieve your money.
Short Summary:
You transferred money to Investnaija via Paystack, but it got reversed to your Opay account. Take a deep breath, check your Opay wallet, and contact Opay support if the funds don’t reappear soon.
Now, have you reached out to Opay customer support yet? It’s essential to communicate with them to ensure your refund is processed correctly. What other details do you think they might need to assist you better?

What you are describing is usually a problem between the receiving virtual account provider (Paystack/Titan) and the interbank transfer network, not necessarily your own bank account.
InvestNaija likely uses Paystack-Titan virtual accounts for wallet funding. Paystack itself says transfers to Paystack-Titan accounts can sometimes fail or become unavailable during network or NIBSS issues.
From your symptoms:
UBA saying “no response from Paystack Titan” → means UBA can see the destination bank but cannot complete handshake/confirmation with the Paystack-Titan gateway.
Zenith saying “account not found” → usually means either:
the virtual account has expired/changed,
InvestNaija disabled the old wallet account,
or Zenith’s network is not resolving the Paystack-Titan account correctly.
This is common with some fintech virtual accounts in Nigeria, especially when:
the app changes payment partners,
your dedicated account was regenerated,
or NIBSS routing is unstable.
What to do:
Open the InvestNaija app and check whether:
your wallet account number changed,
the bank name changed from Paystack-Titan to another bank,
or they generated a new reserved account.
Do not use an old saved beneficiary. Delete the beneficiary completely from:
UBA app
Zenith app
Then add it again manually.
Try another transfer channel:
USSD
internet banking
another bank like Opay, Moniepoint, Access, GTBank
Sometimes one bank resolves Paystack-Titan better than another.
Confirm your KYC status inside the app. Some platforms temporarily disable wallet funding if:
BVN/NIN mismatch,
expired ID,
or pending verification.
Contact InvestNaija support and specifically ask:
“Has my reserved account changed?”
“Is Paystack-Titan funding currently active on my profile?”
“Can you regenerate my wallet account?”
If they delay, request:
an alternative manual funding account,
or direct bank deposit instructions.
Also note that Paystack has reported several recent Nigeria transfer disruptions involving Paystack-Titan and NIBSS delays.
One more important thing: If this has lasted “over two months,” it is unlikely to be a temporary network glitch. It more likely means:
your dedicated account was replaced,
your profile has a backend restriction,
or InvestNaija migrated wallet providers without updating your account properly.
So the fastest resolution is usually getting them to regenerate a new wallet account number for you.
