Yesterday, I shared a post that GTB Naira MasterCard is allowed on Aliexpress.com. After the publication of the post, some exclusive readers of this blog mailed me and requested for other online outlets that accept Nigerian debit/credit cards worldwide.
Answering the question about online outlets that accept MasterCards and Visa Cards issued by Nigerian commercial banks alone would be a lie.
This question will be answered by all of us, and I will be very grateful for your contribution.
From my personal experience:
1. GTB Naira MasterCard:
This card is issued-out by GTBank. I have successfully used it on:
- Facebook.com – to pay for ads
- Arvixe.com – to order webhosting packages
- Godaay.com – to purchase domain name
- Namecheap.com – to purchase domain name
- Aliexpress.com – to order for goods online
- Hostgator.com – to order webhosting packages
- Dreamhost.com – to order webhosting packages
- Mobstac.com – to order premium mobile site function
- Jumia.com.ng – to order for a phone accessory
- Konga.com – to order for books
2. UBA AfriCard:
This card is issued-out by UBA. I have successfully used it on the website mentioned above. Here are some other websites I have used it on:

- Elance.com – to pay a Freelancer
- Amazon.com – to order for some books

- Adwords.google.com – to pay for ads
The two cards listed above have been successfully used on the websites listed above by me. Some other cards I’ve used are Zenith WebSufer and GTB Visa Card. I didn’t list them because I only use them once or twice.
Add yours to the comment and I will add it to this post with your name and website link (if any). Let us all help ourselves.
Thanks for the great information Please I want to know if visa/master cards issued by Ecobank are also acceptable for online payment on many websites
@Adewunmi Taiyese, give it a try. I haven’t tried it before.
If I’m want to use my Gt master card to buy online did I need other thing to collect from bank .
@Gabriel, you may need to apply for ‘Token’. It’s around N3,000.
Thanks for your response Olusegun. I have now successful made payment on Aliexpress with my GT card.
I tried making purchases with Asos but there was no part indicating international shipping address plus the shipping cost.
Could you please give a detailed account of your experience with Asos including the courier company used? Thanks a lot
@Titi, Asos standard delivery is free. You can get more information about the asos delivery from http://www.asos.com/infopages/pgeshiptocountry.aspx.
Thanks for this post. Pls do fb has Nigeria naira in the list of their currency cos i want to advertise ma page but don’t know how to go about.
@gershon maliyu, Facebook charges Nigerian advertisers in Dollar. Your bank will do the conversion for you in Naira.
Please can UBA master card be used for purchasing online?
@Confidence, yes, UBA mastercard works online.
Please olusegun….I am realy impress wit dat..Please I need ur help…dis is my email address [email protected]. .Please I well be waiting for ur inbox…
Thanks For Your Continuous Useful Post. My QuestionS Are On AliExpress.Com. Please Did You Receive Your Order At The Address You Provided Or You Were Called To Pick It Up? Were You Asked To Pay Anything On Delivery? How Can You Describe The Quality Of Goods That Website And Its Sister Websites?. How Do You Handle Shipping Costs Because I Could Remember The Last Time I Try To Order For A Tablet Pc, The Shipment Fee Was More Than The Good’S Price. How Long Did It Take You To Receive Your Goods? I’ll So Much Appreciate A Blog On Your Experiences On AliExpress And Tips To Help We Beginners. Thanks
@Azeez Ahmed, I was called to pick my stuffs up. The women I met at the post office collect money from me everytime even though it’s Illegal. I don’t buy in Large quantity, so I never tried alibaba. I mainly use free shipping.
Hello, thanks for the info. After the payment issue you had with your GTBcard, are you now able to make payments with it on Aliexpress? If yes what did you do? I’ve had the same issue so I’m really skeptical about trying again.
Also have you had issues with customs & how’s the duty fee like shopping via Asos? Would like to give it a go. Thank you.
@Titi, the common issue GTB Naira MasterCard users usually experience on Aliexpress is payment verification. They want you to verify you owns the card by submitting copies of your ID card (or your passport), credit card and credit card Statement. I’ve only tried Asos once, and never had issues with customs.
Hi, thanks for all the info. after seeing that I can shop with my gtb master card on aliexpress I happily went, after purchasing the items I proceeded to check out and paid for the goods using my card and my account ws debited, only to get a message that my orders were cancelled. Don’t know why this happened and the money was reversed into my account 2months later. Please would appreciate it if u can tell me why my transaction was cancelled and if you know some particular sellers I can purchase from there that would come through.
@sarah, ialso experienced that when I started shopping on aliexpress. You can rectify that by submiting a claim for payment verification.
KKK I will send it to your email.thanks for the great post again
Jeez acess bank sucks i’l go open a gtb acount.
wow just what I need now.will it be against copy right if I use your post on an eBook.does it violate copyright
