To start with, I am not completely certain this is the best of this forum to put this. Mods kindly put it where appropriate.

We intend developing a tourism website with the option for clients can pay for services online. I don't want to use any payment gateway that is not owned by a Nigerian company (or at least mostly owned by a Nigerian company) among other features.
The closest I have heard of, to be close to my specification and requirement is the UBA U-Collect. Has any webmaster,programmer or developer implemented this for their client(s) and what has been the experience so far
It will be insightful to learn from your experience.

there's also gtb, zenithpay, access bank. Almost every major bank has it.

Even though i haven't, i wouldn't have any fears.
It would definitely be REST APIs and there would be enough docs, examples and sdk

I have not had a very good customer service experience with UBA lately. This has somewhat biased by view of all its services.

They most significant reason I am electing to use UBA U-Collect is the set up cost. All other "adjunct" services are similar throughout the payment gateways.

I believe they would take this service seriously but the problem would be how soon you can get to the main guys who handle the system when you need help.

I think the setup cost is uniform. 75k for interswitch if you have an account with them.
Mastercard is free

Hello,
We are using UBA UCollect to accept payments and have also integrated it for many customers, and the list is ongoing. They support local and international cards, and their setup fee is FREE. Even better UBA has signed an MOU with us at ediaro.com to assist you with simple site development. Complex sites attracts extra charges though.

Hi There,

We are interested in using UBA Ucollect for our online transactions and would want to know if:

1. You can use Ucollect without having a bank acct with UBA? Your account is with another bank.
2. How long before your money is transferred to your account?
3. You can help set it up on our magento ecommerce platform www.solprogroup.com
4. How long before the set up is complete and tested Ok.

Would like to speak with you directly on this. Please call 08068735953
Thanks.
