Ecobank Opens Naira-denominated Mastercard For International Transactions by Truth234(m): 11:11am On Jul 14, 2017
Ecobank Nigeria has announced the availability of its naira-denominated MasterCard for international transactions as well as increased daily limits customers can spend on their payment cards.

As a result, the daily spending limits for international payments on the Point of Sale terminal and online channels increased from $100 to $1,000 for its platinum card customers.

The lender also set $750 and $300 limits for its gold and standard cardholders respectively.

The pan-African bank said it had also enabled $100 daily Automated Teller Machine cash withdrawals on all the card variants.

In a statement on Thursday, the Head, Consumer Banking, Ecobank, Mr. Tunde Kuponiyi, said the bank was conscious of the needs of customers in the summer season and as such, made provisions to cater for the expected high desmands.

He was quoted to have said, “This move is to create an ease and encourage customers of the bank to shop and spend abroad with their Ecobank naira-denominated cards during this summer. The debit card now allows access to their naira account from any part of the world, enabling them to make cash withdrawals as well as carry out web purchases abroad”.

He said, “Further to our earlier communication informing you of the suspension of international transactions on naira-denominated debit cards, we are pleased to inform you that you can now use your naira-denominated Ecobank MasterCard for international transactions.

The debit card now allows you access to your naira account from any part of the world. With it, you can now make cash withdrawals and make the PoS/Web purchases abroad, subject to the limits.”

He explained that customers could get an instant card within two minutes in any Ecobank branch, and that the card was automatically enabled for value-added services and online transactions both locally and abroad.

Kuponiyi clarified that customers of the bank could also use their foreign currency denominated MasterCard debit cards to enjoy spending directly from their domiciliary account.

Everything is happening in the west, massive road construction and dualization is going on in the south west, but we Akwa-Ibom the Highest oil producer in the nation has deplorable death traps for highways, just yesterday 3 souls were lost because of their greed and neglect of the layer of the eggs, look at Mobil Headquarters, they've cornered it to Lagos still for their selfish interest, Akwa Ibom State and Lagos state which is more peaceful?

Them thing say we be fools...
Na so dem take muscle Jonathan comot con bring this vegetable come... still for their selfish interest,.. they go any length for their selfish interest! even the economy is not spared, Kemi Adeosun destroys the economy while Ngozi Iwela is being used by the United Nations,
... they won't call her to help salvage the economy still for their selfish interest!


Ibaka deep sea port has been dumped just so the Igbos they marginalized travel from the coastal Akwa-Ibom and Niger Delta to Lagos just to bring in his goods....
Everything for their selfish interest...
Akwa Ibomites are tired, give us Biafra that's all we want!
