In separate announcements to customers, United Bank of Africa (UBA) and Wema Bank said the service has recommenced on their naira cards.
The development comes about three years after many banks suspended international transactions on naira debit cards.
In a recent notice to customers, the UBA said the resumption aligns with its continued commitment to providing clients with seamless and enhanced banking experiences.
“In line with our continued commitment to providing you with seamless and enhanced banking experiences, we are pleased to inform you that all UBA Premium Naira Cards, including Gold, Platinum, and World variants are now enabled for international transactions,” the statement reads.
“This means you can now use your Premium Naira Card for everyday payments, online shopping, POS, and ATM transactions across the world, with more ease and flexibility.
“If you haven’t used your card recently, now’s a great time to rediscover the convenience and prestige that comes with being a UBA premium cardholder.”
Also announcing the development in a recent statement, Wema Bank said customers can now “pay in dollars” with their naira cards.
“Your Wema Naira Mastercard just went global! Now you can pay in dollars on all your favourite international platforms; Amazon, eBay, AliExpress? Netflix, Spotify, YouTube,” the bank said.

ReplyDeleteThis can be feasible with a floated currency because banks don't have to wait months for CBN to get a balance on your transaction unlike before when they were accruing debt as a result of bad policies.
ReplyDeleteI trust the smaller banks will wait a bit more but FG has been disciplined with the stance of no longer subsidizing the currency. Even in tech and aviation, there's is strong investor confidence. Once we can grow the balls to stop subsidizing the meager power we generate and clear the backlog of debt owed discos, serious Nigerians will stand out from those looking to complain.
