Thanks but you asked me to trade with you on the other thread.

I think the only option is to get a dom account, change naira to dollar at black market. Fund it with this dollar and use the card to buy anything online.

Download GoMoney and apply for their virtual card it’s $100 a month or open a sterling bank account and apply for their MasterCard it’s also $100 a month

With Nigerian banks you really can't trust them. I opened fidelity for this only for them to say it's been discontinued after I got the card.
I'll look at gomoney. Thanks
Re: Alternative To 'barter Virtual Card' By Flutterwave? by JimD(m): 6:59pm On Jul 22, 2022
Don't pay 100$ for gomoney. Try any of Sudo africa, Changera, Wallet Africa, Geegpay, Mintyn, Bitmama... If you have BVN issue, speak to their customer care rep. Every one of these virtual dollar card providers will take kyc more seriously now. And Barter and co are also still coming back but will require verifications. Don't waste your money

Hello. Does your phone number match the one you used for your BVN registration?

I think that's where I have an issue with chipper cash.

I change my stance on this. All of these apps are rubbish. Barter was the best by far. Just go apply for dollar card or Dom account. You fit also ask anyone abroad to pay for stuff for you, which is what I'm currently doing.

Why did you change your stance?
Re: Alternative To 'barter Virtual Card' By Flutterwave? by Queensss(f): 4:23pm On Jul 26, 2022
My dear just go get a dollar card. No limits( if any at all, minimum should be $10k per month)

Open a Dorm account and get a dollar card. Your dollar card also has its own account. Convert naira to dollar and fund your account through direct deposits, transfers between dorm account to card account or otherwise.. You can also get cash directly to your account from international companies, individuals, your loved ones abroad etc transfer money to your card and spend. Or withdraw cash and exchange at black market..


Just do this and get done with the task once and for all!

No need to open domiciliary account, just get Uba prepaid Dollar card buy dollar from aboki and fund it. Is not as stressful as the the domiciliary account method. Especially the part where you need to provide 2 current account holders
Re: Alternative To 'barter Virtual Card' By Flutterwave? by shutupareyouGOD: 1:52pm On Jul 27, 2022
Chipper goes on and off but it’s still better than sending money to people that will scam you …better still open a domicilliary account
Ashleyadams:

Thanks for the tip. I'm very skeptical about sending money to anyone due to the high risk of scams.
I just downloaded and went through the registration on chipper cash but they're currently unavailable for 'international transactions'.

I'm guessing they've discontinued their virtual card service just like barter by flutterwave.
Re: Alternative To 'barter Virtual Card' By Flutterwave? by Darhema(m): 5:27am On Aug 12, 2022
Guys, the same issue that's affecting barter by flutterwave that offers MasterCard virtual dollar card is affecting all other platforms like them. Sad thing is that a lot of them will make you fund your wallet on the app, convert naira to the dollar so they can make money from you, and notify you that virtual isn't working when you attempt to create a virtual card.

Even apps like chippers, eversend, wallets, vella etc.

most of the apps listed there are riding on the back of barter by flutterwave so most if not all of them are shut down
