Naira card foreign transaction limits have been lowered by all Nigerian commercial banks to the most absurd figure we have ever heard of: “$20/month.” Some even descended farther than this.
Due to the limit problem, consumers can no longer transfer money overseas or use their Naira cards online.
The only method to overcome this difficulty is to get a functional USD Dollar Debit Card, fill out the account/card, and spend it as you like online and worldwide.
