“The FirstBank Contactless Naira Master Card enables quick pin-less purchases and is a fast secure way for customers to shop locally and globally.

“The contactless card can be used for making payments in the London transport network such as buses, tubes, trams, Dock and Light Railway (DLR) and the London Overground as well as in Grocery shops, supermarkets and Gas stations within London metropolis.

“The card is designed to enhance a cashless lifestyle by promoting increased card usage for lower value transactions. Payments are made by tapping the card on the POS machine with contactless functions for low value transactions; the card can also be used in a regular POS as a normal MasterCard,” it explained.

The daily limits for pin-less transactions are N3,000 for the contactless naira Mastercard and N10,000.00 for the contactless Platinum Debit MasterCard.

Furthermore, it revealed that the FirstBank Verve debit card is Chip & PIN secured for greater protection of customers’ funds and provides extra protection for web-based transactions with “Safetoken.”

“It is accepted wherever the Interswitch or Verve logo is displayed and can also be used to perform transactions via the Quickteller services menu on FirstBank ATMs. This Card is issued in 15 minutes at FirstBank branches, saves time and is very easy to obtain.

“With the FirstBank Expressions on Card, Customers now have the freedom to design the look and feel of their cards with their most cherished memories and spend with a card that is as unique as them,” it added.

I always wonder why first bank has millions of customers. Lately I came to conclusion that Nigerians are very patient people.
After all, if we can be patient with Buhari, then, what is first bank that we cannot tolerate them. If you can bank with first bank, you can bank with any bank in Nigeria.

To me , it makes no difference to helping minimize one’s spending habits and mode . It’s just that it could be mainly dedicated to such usage as low budget spendings and transactions .

Re: Firstbank Introduces Contactless Naira Mastercard by mostHandsome01: 8:14am On May 15, 2018
so many bush people above, to break it down in simple English, this type of card doesn't need you having a security pin, u can just swipe it at any POS, or for those who travel out, u can easily pay for ur bus or train trip by simply swiping it at the payment machines. this makes payments easy . For this reason, any one who steals the card can easily access ur money since they dont need a pin, thats the simple reason why they set the daily limit at 3k, so before a thief steals all ur money, u will know.
