like gtbank master card that i use are loaded in naira,when you purchase online they will deduct the amount of the cuurency in naira from your account.

Hi digriz, what have you purchased with your card online and at what websites?

I learnt that some sites reject the Gtb naira mastercard and thats why I have applied for the UBA Africard ( Naira Visa Card) and I will get it tomorrow, even though I have the Gtb card, I can't pay 3k just to activate a card. UBA charges only 1k and you don't have to be an account holder with them.

Though the card is not widely know due to lack of media publicity in comparism to the Gtb card.

Someone here on Nairaland recommend it for me.

Gtbank

The N3,000 you pay to obtain the token is not activation fee. The token is hardware device that serves as additional security for the GTBank e-channels. you use it to confirm third party transfer transaction. The mastercard activation code that requires the use of the token isn't even applicable on all site. By the way, if you are looking at "international" online transaction, GTBank's Visa is your best bet. Like you were told, A number of sites do not accept the GTBank Naira master card but most will accept the Visa card issued by the same bank. The visa card however is dollar based and you do not need the hardware token to activate it. Neither do you need the token to transfer funds from your domiciliary to your Visa card account (there are  two different accounts).

That's right the 3k is not to activate the card rather to get the mastercard secure code andd my GTbank master dollar card works like magic

GTBank Visa Card (also know as GTBank Visa Classic Debit Card) works far better than all the Cards used for online payment, and of course in Nigeria.

I got the GTBank Visa Card recently, and all the sites that have refused/declined my GTBank Master Card for payment or the other, Started accepting my GTBank Visa Card like Magic.

It's only when you have it, that you will completely understand what I'm saying.

It cost $200 and between 7-14 working days to get it.

You can load any amount (USD) you want into it, and you can withdraw it in Naira from any ATM machine.

I LOVE GTBank.

May God Bless Them!

P.S. I'm not a Banker and do not even intend to be one. I'm an Information and Internet Marker - and this is why I'm an authority in this issue

please guys i need to know urgently which of these cards is best for online withdrawals. gtbank visa card, access bank visa card, and uba africard. thank you
