Recently, commercial banks in Nigeria notified their customers about the suspension of international transactions with Naira debit cards. This development was largely based on CBN’s directive to save foreign exchange for the economy. Of course, as expected, the new development was not welcomed by many Nigerians who use their Naira cards to pay on international platforms like Apple Music, Netflix, Amazon, Aliexpress, and so on. This would mean that they had to turn to alternative options like opening a domiciliary account to continue transacting abroad.

However, for most people, registering a domiciliary account is more stressful and rigorous than it sounds. It also doesn’t help that even after successfully opening the account, it can take ages before your prepaid card gets to you. Does this mean that they would have to say a temporary goodbye to Apple Music and Netflix?

Well, the good news is that it doesn’t have to be so.

Bitmama— The perfect alternative payment solution
