The Global Bank of Africa, United Bank for Africa (UBA) PLC, has launched the Afigo card, a revolutionary national card plan aimed at transforming the Nigerian payments.
The Afigo card, introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in collaboration with the Inter-Banco Liquidation System of Nigeria (Nibss), offers a robust alternative to international card schemes, which empowers customers with transactions without naira problems adapted to the local market.
It has been designed to offer a safe, affordable and accessible alternative for daily transactions in line with the continuous efforts of the Apex bank to boost financial inclusion and improve the digital economy.
The Afigo card has impressive features, which include chip and pins security, payments without problems in ATMs and POS terminals throughout the country, access 24/7 to rewarding funds and benefits for card holders.
It has been designed to meet various demographic data, as it supports the winners, artisans, students and low -income market merchants by providing a flexible, affordable and efficient means to manage finance.
The head of Retail and Digital Banking of UBA, Shamsideen Fashola, pointed out the versatility of the card and other characteristics of the card and maintained that with the launch of Afigo, the bank continues to demonstrate its leadership in promoting financial innovation, inclusion and accessibility for all Nigerians.
“With Afigo, we are offering a card that speaks directly to the needs of the Nigerians, from women and students of the market to owners of small companies and low -income winners. The affordability of the card, together with their advanced and potential safety for biometric authentication and out -of -line transactions, positions it as a vital tool in the promotion of transactions without cash in Nigeria,” he said.
