Security

How we protect your account, data and payments.

Last updated: June 2026

Security is built into Pantri. Here’s an overview of the measures that protect your account and information.

Encryption

  • All traffic is encrypted in transit with HTTPS/TLS.
  • Sensitive personal information is encrypted at rest.
  • Passwords are stored only as salted hashes — never in plain text.

Payments

  • Card payments are processed by Paystack, a PCI-DSS compliant provider.
  • We do not store your full card details on our servers.
  • Wallet top-ups, subscriptions and checkouts are verified server-side against the payment provider before value is granted.

Authentication

  • Login uses short-lived JWT access tokens with rotating refresh tokens.
  • Email one-time PINs (OTP) verify new accounts and sensitive actions.
  • Biometric unlock is supported in the mobile app.

Access & monitoring

  • Role-based access controls limit who can see what (buyers, merchants, admins).
  • Rate limiting and request validation protect against abuse.
  • We log and monitor for suspicious activity, and can suspend compromised accounts.
