Two prominent Nigerian banks, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Wema Bank, have announced the resumption of international transactions on their naira cards, nearly three years after the service was suspended due to foreign exchange constraints.

UBA, in a statement to its customers, emphasized its commitment to providing 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 bank stated.

With this development, UBA customers can now use their premium naira cards for various international transactions, including everyday payments, online shopping, POS, and ATM transactions.

“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,” the bank added.

Similarly, Wema Bank has also enabled international transactions on its naira Mastercard, allowing customers to pay in dollars on popular international platforms such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube.

“Your Wema Naira Mastercard just went global! Now you can pay in dollars on all your favourite international platforms,” the bank noted.
