We believe this product will significantly enhance the payment experience and meet the diverse needs of our users.”
Also, according to the firm, UnionPay is recognized as the largest card scheme in the world by card volumes and brings an array of benefits to Nigerian consumers. “With the introduction of the UnionPay USD Prepaid card, ChamsSwitch and Wema Bank are poised to meet the growing demands of Nigerian travellers and businesspeople.

“The card ensures a seamless and hassle-free payment experience, allowing travellers to load their cards in Nigeria and withdraw cash from ATMs in their destination countries. This is especially advantageous in regions like China, where other card schemes may face acceptance issues. The UnionPay card is not only beneficial for travellers but also for business professionals and online shoppers in Nigeria.
The card facilitates secure and straightforward international purchases, providing a reliable alternative for those who wish to buy products from global online marketplaces,’’ the statement read.
