Zenith Bank has joined other Nigeria banks to suspend international transactions on Naira cards.

Zenith Bank in a note to customer said “Dear Valued Customer, please be informed that you will be unable to use your Zenith Bank Naira cards for International Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cash withdrawals, POS transactions and web transactions with effect from January 9th, 2023. If you have International spend requirements, simply visit any of our branches and request for a foreign currency debit or prepaid card, which are available in US Dollar, Pounds and Euro variants. Thank you for banking with us”. 

This is coming barely a week after Guaranty Trust Bank made the same announcement, which took effect on January 1. This announcement further compounds the troubles of many Nigerians who shop online from international stores such as Amazon, and Apple Music, among others as they will no longer be able to pay with their Naira cards.  Zenith Bank’s announcement increased the number of banks that have suspended international transactions on Naira cards to four, including First Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. 

In March last year, most Nigerian banks announced a $20 spending limit on international transactions using Naira debit cards. This was because of a longstanding scarcity of foreign exchange and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s strict capital outflow regime. In July, Standard Chartered Bank announced it has suspended international transactions on its Naira visa debit card. In September, First Bank also announced the suspension of international transactions on its Naira Mastercard virtual card and visa prepaid Naira card from September 30. “Due to current market realities on foreign exchange, you will no longer be able to use the Naira Mastercard, Naira Credit Card, our Virtual card, and Visa Prepaid Naira card for international transactions. This will take effect on 30 September 2022,” First Bank said in a statement to its customers,” the bank stated. Flutterwave, Eversend, and other fintech platforms had also stopped virtual card services for international transactions.
