ChamsSwitch, a leading financial technology company, has announced its launch of the UnionPay card in Nigeria.
In a statement, the firm said the introduction of the card will revolutionise the payment experience for Nigerians travelling abroad, especially to China and other Asian countries, as well as for those conducting international online transactions from the comfort of their homes.
Speaking on this development, Dumebi Obodo, ChamsSwitch Managing Director said, “The UnionPay card offers unparalleled convenience and security for our customers, whether they are travelling abroad or making international online purchases. 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 UnionPay USD Prepaid card is the perfect companion for Nigerians travelling abroad, particularly to China and other Asian countries, where UnionPay is the dominant card scheme.
“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.
