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.
Your data & controls
- You can review and update your profile at any time.
- You can permanently delete your account and associated data from Account → Profile or at pantri.africa/delete-account.
- See our Privacy Policy for what we collect and why.
Responsible disclosure
If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability, please report it to security@pantri.africa. We appreciate responsible disclosure and will work with you to resolve valid issues quickly.
