Just the Card number, PIN and expiry date? Those are not the only things you need to make payments online. You also need an OTP which will be sent to the person's phone when shopping on local Nigerian websites or at least the person's other personal details like home address and phone number before shopping on foreign websites. So, you can't just remove funds from a Nigerian ATM card you picked up on the road. You also need a token or their personal details to shop online and for ATMs, you also need the 4 DIGIT pin.

I am interested in knowing how you can make payments without my internet pin or OTP.


International merchant sites don't request for Token, internet pin or OTP.

It is only netteller and Nigerian sites which requires such to complete a transaction.

When your card is used to purchase goods on sites like Amazon, Aliexpress, European and US sites, only the Card Number, Expiry Date and 3 digits Security on be reverse side are required. wink wink wink

sandammy:
Not with my Gtb master card that requires you to have a token device linked to your account. Paying bills online you must enter the token digits. So how can you complete an online transaction without it?.

I also own a Zenith and GTB mastercards and used both to make payments and purchase items on aliexpress several times without using the token. cool cool cool

If you provide a wrong address or phone number when shopping on foreign websites, the ATM card would not be accepted.

Nigerian banks are not that stupid to allow ATM cards to have weak security by displaying all the information on a piece of plastic. If you even do succeed in getting the person's other details such as address and phone number, you can still be caught.

You can't buy things on Quickteller without an OTP. You can't do internet banking without a token. You can't shop on Amazon or Aliexpress without providing the correct billing address and phone number.

Good post, but if you can , modify your writeup and ask ever nairalander / Nigerian to link their cards with a payment gateway , i prefer quickteller, if a card is linked, they'll always send OTP codes to your phone before transaction is processed / approved,

Thought this might help on front page

There's a new app that address the card security issue effectively. It was launched by Access Bank last month.
It's called PayWithCapture (www.paywithcapture.com) and works online and offline.

It's a secure, convenient and smart way to make payments on-line, in-store and In-app. It's already accepted by Spar, Medplus, Arik Air, Ethiopian Airlines, Jumia, Konga, payporte, Airtime purchase and so many more merchants.

Simply download the app for free (on iOS, Android, Blackberry platforms),
Link your payment mode (Card, Bank Account or Mobile wallet)
Scan QR-Codes at merchant locations, confirm amount and PAY!

Payment is as simple as taking a selfie.

Other benefits:
Quick, one-click payment The app can be linked to all accounts, cards, and mobile wallets.
You do not need to type in your card details online or expose your cards for transactions anymore.
The accounts identifies and debits a funded account if the default account is not funded.
Works offline.
Can be set up to make regular payments.
Can be used by customers of all banks (through their credit/debit cards).

Hmmm I find it hard to believe. Though I haven't shop on foreign sites with atm except for Nigerian sites that requires otp. But I still doubt the possibility of taking out my money without knowing my billing address and phone number. Once you details is correct, payment goes through.

Yeah right, it happened to me last week, just got a debit message and the switching website. So I called my bank to block my Debit card since I know there's no way to get the money back. Meanwhile the card was with me all through.

I bought a domain name on godaddy and I wasn't asked for my pin number. I was asked to provide only the card number, exp date and vvc or something like that (that 3 digits at the back of your card). So you better keep your card safe.

Don't just call people liars because you don't know and believed what they are saying. It's better for you to adhere to their advice.
