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.

- 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.
