United Bank for Africa Plc on Thursday said its bouquet of electronic products was meant to make business transaction seamless for its customers within and outside the country.
According to the bank, a number of electronic cards rolled out recently will make summer travel as hassle-free as possible.
The bank said customers going on summer trips, carrying any of the prepaid or debit cards would find it easy and convenient.
The cards include UBA prepaid card, UBA debit Mastercard, UBA gold debit Mastercard and UBA Visa dual currency debit card.
UBA recently introduced its ‘All About U’ debit card which would allow customers to put their favourite picture on their Debit Card.
A statement from the company quoted the Divisional Head, e-Banking, Mr. Yinka Adedeji, as saying, “With the UBA card, our customers don’t need to carry cash while going on summer holidays because they have different options to choose from.
“The UBA’s PTA/BTA customers can get the prepaid card for free and are able to spend up to $40,000 per annum on their card. The card is not tied to any bank account and is internationally accepted at all Visa acceptance points (ATMs, POS and Web).”
Similarly, the bank said its debit Mastercard was acceptable at over one million ATMs across the world and over 210 countries worldwide.
The card, it said, could be used at over 32 million merchant locations with spending limit of up to $40 000 per annum on international transactions.
Adedeji, however, said, “The UBA Gold Debit Mastercard and Visa dual currency debit card offer customers no restrictions on how much they can spend on international transactions. The cards are also accepted internationally on PoS, ATMs and online.”
He maintained that all the bank’s cards were secure and convenient.
He said, “Customers can rest assured, knowing that their transactions are protected when they use any of the bank’s prepaid or debit cards on the ATM, PoS or Web.”
