To use a Verve card outside Nigeria, you need to get a MasterCard Verve Card (its a combo MasterCard & Verve Card in one). You can get a MasterCard Verve Card from Skye Bank (i learnt other banks will soon start issuing it in Nigeria).

The MasterCard Verve Card works on all MasterCard ATMs & PoS worldwide and accepted on ", 30.9 million acceptance locations across 210 markets worldwide, which include merchant locations, ATMs and other locations where cash can be obtained."

I think the company called interswitch is one of the best things to happen to the Nigerian market. I have been following their activities for a while and I wonder why Nigerians have not appreciated them as they should. They have made life very simple for Nigerians by providing ATM card and other solutions that can be used on ATMs, POS, internet and now I heard you can even use your card on your mobile phone. I’m yet to meet anyone who has any negative experience with their products or services.

I think they should be voted the best company of the year! Or what do you think?

Can anyone help me out plsssss?

Hi, Am new to nairaland and I hear you guys are the best thing to happen to Nigeria in a long time.

Does anyone have an idea how the local money transfer works in Nigeria? I have heard of UBA's Cashfast, which other local bank or local private money transfer operator are you aware of? Are they as reliable as they claim? Does anyone have any experience to share with regards to collecting their money from these operators?
