I applied for the UBA Visa Africard and was issued sometime in February. The only thing the card does is withdrawal from ATM. PayPal continues to reject my card. I have been to UBA more than to times (No exaggerations), and up till now no solution.

Is it that the Africard has stopped working for PayPal? Please your comments are required.

Thanks.

Your inputs, please.

What type did you apply for? International High, Low? Do you have enough funds on it for activation. Some of these CC reps aren't as knowledgeable as they want you to believe.

Thanks for your response. It's International High. I have N3,000 on it, and only about N500 is required for PayPal verification. I think you're correct, the customer care guys at the branch have not been helpful at all.

There's money on the card. How much should the minimum amount be for the transaction to be successful?

About N1750 to activate the card, and about N950 to link to PayPal account.

About N1750 to activate the card, and about N950 to link to PayPal account.

The card has been activated, and about that amount deducted. I had more than 2K there it failed to link, but it's N500 now. I'll add some money again and try it. Thank you.

@ paddyDIGITAL: Thank you so much for all your comment. It was really helpful. After loading N2,000, I tried again, and the same error message, so I went to the bank and it was confirmed to me that it was local high. The mistake was from the lady that processed it. They apologized and asked me to return on Tuesday to apply for another card.

Thank you very much, God bless you.

In my GUIDE, I always stress to my clients to insist for International High option of the card. I'm glad it was resolved. Always at your service.
