I could remember some months ago when a particular thread was discussing possibility of funding the UBA Africard without having to go into banking hall. I mean funding the card online remotely and instantly. I mentioned then that one can do that if you have mobile banking of UBA (Umobile).

I just discovered today that you can do that not only by using Umobile on your phone but also by using UBA internet banking platform (UBAdirect). Instead of the usual N100 or whatever loading charges, I saw just N1 deduction from my balance and it was instant. This means that you can transfer money from any bank like GTB if that is where you have money to your UBA and then use your UBAdirect or Umobile to transfer to your card. If you don't have the UBAdirect or Umobile, those who have can do it for you. All they will need from you is (1) the last 6 digits of your Africard account (customer ID); (2) the last 4 digits of your Visa Africard and (3) of course the money (amount) you want to load plus (if applicable) any service/assistance fee. Enjoy yourself!

Great!
I've been thinking of this though I know it will be possible but I didn't like opening a bank account with UBA but it seems that I will need to that now.

will give it a try.

Oh oh I don't have UBA account wat of online transfer to the card directly

bukahands: Oh oh I don't have UBA account wat of online transfer to the card directly

What I just explained is online transfer to the card directly or which other transfer are you referring to? I guess you mean the one from a merchant like when you withdraw your money from a site to card option and the site sends your money to card. Right? That works generally for visa cards anyway unlike mastercard but that kind of transfer to the card is done by the merchant at their end and not the one you can do by yourself when you like. That one also depends on when you have made money on such site but the one we are talking about here is at your will kind of funding at any time, even on holiday like I did tonight on my bed.

That's mean one need to have an account with them?

dav8id: That's mean one need to have an account with them?

Having the card is like an account in itself. Garrit?

It's been a while I used it last. May be I will give it a try again to confirm but I'd rather use internet banking, Ubadirect than Umobile.

I have been using this for the past one year, the charges on every funding using umobile is #105. Ask any question and I can fund your account for you if you want, what you will privide me to fund your account is the last four digit of ur card and the customer Id on the card which always start with four zero.

Great one as I do offer this service as well but note that some africards will not receive the money as it will be bouncing back.

I know this is old, but can you help me fund my card? How do I activate it?

Hello.. I just got my card today. I'm yet to load it nor activate it. Please can you assist?

You can Fund by buying USD from the Black market

That is, by buying Dollars – hard currency at the black-market rate, take it to the banking hall, fill out a deposit slip, enter your Customer ID number/details, and submit it to be funded.

The cons here are:
#1. This method is stressful.
#2. It wastes time.
#3. You can be scammed by a fake BDC guy.

Fund with fnfSwap
I have used a new startup called fnfSwap to fund my USD Card online without going to the bank.
Best still, you fund your card cheaper than any rate in Nigeria, better than the black-market rate.
You can check them out - https://fnfswap.com.ng/how-to-fund-africard/

Fund by Client-to-Client Transfers
If you have a friend or colleague that has Dollar funds in his or her Gtpsecurecard account, he/she can fund your card by transferring to it.

Those are the top 3 popular ways to do it.
