In September 2022, many banks made the disappointing decision to discontinue the use of Naira cards for international spending. This move was attributed to the prevailing market conditions affecting foreign exchange. As a result, customers were informed that Naira Mastercards, Naira Credit Cards, Virtual Cards, and Visa Prepaid Naira Cards would no longer be valid for international transactions after September 30, 2022.
However, there’s great news on the horizon! WEMA Bank has announced that ALAT Naira Card holders can now enjoy the convenience of international spending. In a recent email sent by the bank, the following message was shared:
