You Can Now Use Your ALAT Naira Card For International Transaction

Back in in September 2022, most banks discontinued the usage of Naira card for international spending “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” which took effect on 30 September 2022.

But that is about to change as you can now use your WEMA bank card for international spending. According to a mail sent today by the bank, it reads;
