Background of the Study
The use of mobile payment systems in universities has significantly transformed the way students and faculty manage financial transactions on campus. With the growing demand for convenience and efficiency, universities are increasingly adopting digital payment systems for services such as tuition fees, library fines, and on-campus purchases. However, the proliferation of mobile payment solutions has also raised concerns regarding the security of financial transactions, particularly the protection of sensitive data and prevention of fraud (Ibrahim et al., 2024).
Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, like many other institutions, has recognized the need for a secure mobile payment system to ensure that users' financial transactions are protected from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. While existing mobile payment platforms provide convenience, they often lack the robust security measures necessary to safeguard personal and financial information. This study aims to design a secure mobile payment system tailored to the needs of university campuses, considering factors such as authentication, encryption, and transaction monitoring.
Statement of the Problem
Although Federal University, Lafia, has implemented mobile payment solutions for its campus, the system faces several security vulnerabilities, such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and fraud. These vulnerabilities raise concerns about the integrity of financial transactions, and there is an urgent need for a more secure mobile payment platform. This study aims to address these security gaps by designing a mobile payment system that ensures the protection of sensitive information and fosters trust among users.
