Fidelity Bank Resumes International Transactions On Naira Debit Cards

Tier-one Lender, Fidelity Bank Plc, has announced the resumption of international transactions on its Naira Debit Cards.

This recommencement gives customers the freedom to make seamless payments abroad, online, and at ATMs outside the country.

Shedding light on the development, Ifeoma Onibuje, Divisional Head, eBanking, Fidelity Bank Plc said, “We are delighted to inform the public that Fidelity Naira Cards are now enabled for global use. This means that our travelling customers can now utilize their Naira Debit cards outside the country to shop, spend and withdraw internationally without hassles.

“Consequently, our customers can now spend up to $1,000 quarterly for international POS and online transactions; and withdraw up to $500 quarterly on international ATMs.”

The announcement offers Fidelity Bank customers another way to complete international transactions, in addition to the Bank’s existing foreign currency debit and credit cards.

This further reinforces Fidelity Bank’s commitment to delivering solutions that fit seamlessly into customers’ lifestyles. With Fidelity Bank’s VISA and Mastercard Naira Debit Cards, Nigerians can now enjoy effortless global access.
