This isn't about Ecobank card not working for ur Ad but a general problem with credit cards, if you’ve set “Naira” as your currency in your Facebook ad account and you’ve not been able to pay for your Facebook adverts with cards like Ecobank, GTBank Mastercard, you can purchase your ad by making use of “Naira card payment with PayU”.

PayU accepts both MasterCard and VISA debit cards, you will be required to enter your one time OTP to complete the transaction. Better still you can contact Ecobank via their Ombudsman on 07005000000 or ombudsman@ecobank.com for further enlightenment. PayU worked for me the last time I sponsored a post on Facebook & Instagram
