HOW TO UNBLOCK YOUR UBA PREPAID VISA CARD (AFRICARD)

UBA PREPAID VISA CARD  (AFRICARD) 


What is UBA Prepaid Visa Card ( also known as Africard)

The UBA Visa Prepaid card (Africard) is a debit card variant denominated in Naira and is pre-funded and re-loadable. It is internationally accepted in all Visa acceptance points (ATM, PoS & Web). Card holders do not need to have an account with UBA
Card Features
 
  • Real time banking transactions
  • Balance enquiry
  • Purchase at Pos
  • Purchase on WEB
  • ATM Cash withdrawal
  • Pos cash Advance
  • Mini account statement
  • Card to Card transfer
  • Worldwide acceptance: Visa Prepaid is accepted at millions of locations worldwide.
  • Instant payment: Faster than writing cheque or running to ATM.
  • Makes shopping simple: Book travel and shop online in addition to making your everyday purchases fast and convenient.


           Benefits of Using the UBA Prepaid Visa Card.
 
  • Creates a simple convenient alternative to cash or debit card payments.
  • No need to open or have a bank account in order to have a Prepaid Card.
  • The card issuance process is simplified.
  • Provides better record keeping than cash (a history of transactions spent on the Prepaid Card is available on GTP card management system which is available on the internet).
  • Increase the feeling of security as the Prepaid Card holder remain in control of the card during transactions - a personal identification number (PIN) is used alongside the Prepaid Card as well as an SMS Text Alert is received in real time with the transaction placed.
  • Eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash.
  • When cash is lost or stolen, the money is gone forever and in most cases cannot be recovered. In the case of a lost or stolen Prepaid Card, the value on the cardholder’s account remains intact and can be transferred onto a replacement card or another Prepaid Card.
  • Allow for the non-banking population (non-account holders) to obtain a Visa Prepaid Card and become part of a financial world.
  • Debit card holders afraid of using their debit cards on the Internet for purchases may obtain a Prepaid Card which can be used solely for that purpose and is not linked to their domicile account.

What I like most about Africard is that it is secure as it is secured at visa verified. which mean aside you normal password for ATM withdrawer, during online transaction visa verified will demand you enter another password for security reason. entering a wrong password thrice...that is three times... will lead to the blockage of your VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.) from online transaction. To avoid this make sure you enter the correct password and if at all you forgot your password dont try it more than two times...reserve the third one till u verify the right password. but incase you tried it trice and it is blocked...what will you do? you have to unblock it, before u can do any transaction with it online.
HOW TO UNBLOCK YOUR  VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.)

To unblocked your VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.) for online transaction after it has been blocked you either call the 24/7 customer care line which you can find at the top, of the back of your VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.) which if they pick it fast will solve the problem is less than 5 minutes.

Alternatively, you go straight to any UBA Bank nearest to you or better still where you collect the VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.), meet the customer care...you will be ask to write an application letter requesting for the unblocking of your VISA PREPAID CARD (AFRICARD.) for online transactions.This will take sometime, if your are lucky within 24 to 72 hours it should be done.
