Visa ATMs in Nigeria

Written by Oluniyi D. Ajao on 1 November 2007 & has 5,441 views

I was plesantly surprised last night to discover that ATMs that support Visa cards are now available in Nigeria.

According to Visa’s ATM locator website, some ATMs of the following banking institutions: support Visa, Plus and Visa Electron cards:

UBA PLC (A COMMERCIAL BANK) (405)*
AFRIBANK NIGERIA PLC (1)
FIDELITY BANK PLC (1)

This is good news for Nigerians who make a (legitimate) living online from affiliate marketing, MLMs and other businesses.

My search on Visa’s website for financial institutions that issue Visa cards in Nigeria however came-up with the following message:

Nigeria

We currently do not have any financial institutions listed for this country. Please contact the financial institutions in your local area to inquire about getting a Visa card.

  10. You will get a free ATM card shipped directly to your address and a bank account that anybody can wire into from anywhere, the banks are usually in UK or US.
    So with the card you can do any online business and also receive cash check ,money order in you bank account. you can use e currency to order card.
    he new face of money.
    If you want a free Atm card then consider joining my forex trading service once you register with $100 you will have a bank account+Atm card, but you will get the card after your investment matures,that is after 30 days. if you just need to buy a card fine, it will help you in any online money making venture,

    goodluck

    the visa card of vcard is one of the most recent inovations in the Nigerian banking system, however it has received wider publicity through Oceanic Bank (experience peace) and supported by others. One of its setbacks is that you can only receive money in the Naira equivalent of the forign currency sent to you from abroad. I have used it and it is more convenient than some payment systems around.
