Couple of months ago, some readers of this blog requested for the means to buy goods from aliexpress.com. I answered them by publishing a post titled the best card to shop online from Nigeria. The name of the card is UBA Africard. I even proceeded to writing about how to get the UBA Africard from any UBA under 1 hour.
Some exclusive readers of this blog posed a question to me regarding GTB Naira MasterCard. They asked whether the card will work on aliexpress.com. I replied them that I don’t know since I never tried it before. I recommended UBA Africard because I have tried it.

Some weeks ago I exhausted the cash I loaded on my UBA Africard, so I was forced to try my GTB Naira MasterCard. To my amazement, the card was accepted and I received an email some days later that full shipment has been made for my order.
I can now answer the question I have been replying my exclusive readers with ‘I don’t know if it works’ with ‘it works’.
GTB Naira MasterCard works on Aliexpress. You can now buy cheap and quality stuffs from there.
Securing a GTB Naira MasterCard isn’t something hard. Just work into any GTB nearest to you. Open a savings account. The GTB Naira MasterCard would be link to your savings account.
The reason why I love to use UBA Africard was because it is not link to any account. So in case of any loss, only the money on my card will be lost.
When using your GTB Naira MasterCard, be careful and make sure you only use your card on trusted websites.
Have you tried GTB Naira MasterCard or do have you know of any card issued by any commercial bank that works on Aliexpress? We need your opinion.
I got a money alert withdraw on my account for a goods purchase on aliexpress…. How can I get the user and am also an aliexpress user as well
Thanks
what bank details does one need in order use the mastercard?
@Washington, you only need to provide your card details.
May I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone who really knows what they’re talking about on the internet.
You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and
make it important. More and more people must look at this and understand this side
of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.
can i use GTB master card to buy goods on dealextreme.com.
@Titus, yes you can.
Does Firstbank mastercard also work on aliexpress?
@Raymond, I haven’t tried it before, but I hope it should work.
Ever since I came across aliexpress, it was my gtb mastercard nairadebit I’ve always been using… But at a point I had to register for online banking to get a token for extra security. But the good thing is it works… The only advice I’ll give apart from all that has been said about aliexpress is that you should ensure you checkout all your goods at once so the money would be deducted at once as well.
May i know if uba africard in ghana can equally work
@Alexander Akareng, it should. The card is Visa verified.
Please sir, my friend want to buy a domain name at Goddady and host it @ Hosgator and both companier are demanding for his Driven Lisen and National ID After placing his Order. So I want to find out if it is realy Neccessary to gv them dis confidential Information.
@Onyema, they want your friend to verify it’s name and ownership of the card he wanted to pay with. He needs to provide them with the scanned credentials required.
